## Polkadot News

Referendum 1139 on the Wish-for-change track, proposing to reduce inflation to 8% and reducing, has passed and executed. [Polkassembly - Referendum #1139](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1139)

In the first round of bulk coretime sales, all five cores have been sold. [https://app.regionx.tech/?network=polkadot](https://app.regionx.tech/?network=polkadot)

For more details on how Agile Coretime works, see the Polkadot Wiki: [Agile Coretime (Scheduling) - Polkadot Wiki](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-agile-coretime)

Referendum 1200, proposing to increase the number of validators in the active set from 400 to 500, is currently passing with 99.9% in favor. [Polkassembly - Referendum #1200](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1200)

Referendum 1202, proposing to upgrade the Polkadot runtime to 1.3.3., is passing almost unanimously. [Polkassembly - Referendum #1202](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1202)

Implications of this new runtime would include allowing inflation to be adjustable by governance, allow signed origin to send arbitrary XCM messages from system parachains, and allow Polkadot, Kusama, and Ethereum assets across the Polkadot-Kusama bridge.

## Kusama News

Coretime sales also continue on Kusama, with 67 cores sold this round. [https://app.regionx.tech/?network=kusama](https://app.regionx.tech/?network=kusama)
