## Polkadot News Reminder for all validators - as a result of the inclusion of BEEFY, after the 1’000’001 runtime upgrade, validators should rotate their keys and set them on-chain. Additionally, validators should no longer use the “no-beefy” flag. BEEFY is a secondary protocol to GRANDPA allowing more efficient bridging to external networks. For more details, see [Proof of Stake Consensus | Polkadot Developer Docs](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-consensus#bridging-beefy) With a day and a half left in the current parachain lease auction, Logion has been in the lead the entire Ending Period.

[Polkassembly - Referendum #305](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/305) Kusama validators should already have rotated their keys and stopped using the “no-beefy” flag. If not, you should it immediately.
