## Polkadot News

Anonymous parathread ID 2097 has won the most recent parachain lease auction. [Polkadot/Substrate Portal](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fpolkadot.api.onfinality.io%2Fpublic-ws#/parachains/parathreads)

Referendum 91, increasing the maximum number of nomination pools from 64 to 128, is currently passing almost unanimously (\> 99.9% in favor) with one days left to vote. [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/91](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/91)

Referendum 93, proposing a new registrar but including no other contextual information, is currently failing with 3% in favor and almost 4 days left to vote. [https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/93](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referendum/93)

Referendum 94, proposing to seed the Polkadot Alliance, is currently passing with 97% in favor and 8 days left to vote.

## Kusama News

With less than a day before the end of the current parachain lease auction, Bittensor and parathread ID 2243 have both been in the lead during the Ending Period. [Polkadot/Substrate Portal](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fkusama.api.onfinality.io%2Fpublic-ws#/parachains/auctions)  
Referendum 49, to enable conditional fast-unstake in Kusama, is up for vote. [Polkassembly - Referendum #49](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/49)

Referendum 50, to upgrade Statemine to runtime v9360, is up for vote. [https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/50](https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/referendum/50)

Note that the two preceding Referenda are on the Whitelisted Caller track and thus are also required to be whitelisted by the Fellowship. [Interact with Kusama - Polkadot Wiki](https://guide.kusama.network/docs/learn-gov2/#polkadot-fellowship)

See here for Referenda which are being proposed to be whitelisted by the Fellowship. [Polkadot/Substrate Portal](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fkusama.api.onfinality.io%2Fpublic-ws#/fellowship/referenda)

Note that there is still one Referendum up for vote on the old (”Gov1”) Democracy track. This can safely be ignored; it just makes a remark and the proposer has said it was a mistake. [Hello friends | Polkassembly](https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referendum/258)
