Thanks for the update! Excited for the Kusama ZK Summit—great opportunity to connect and learn. Good to see momentum building for Referendum 1542; Hydration’s liquidity push could boost activity. All Kusama validators: make sure to upgrade to stable2503-4 ASAP to stay aligned and avoid future disruptions. As for Referendum 522, low support suggests the community may want more discussion or data before increasing core usage.
