Polkadot Digest 8 Oct 2025

Polkadot News

I will be holding an AMA today at 14.30 UTC, about W3F priorities and changes, the future of Polkadot, and anything else you want to ask me. Submit questions here: https://x.com/Polkadot/status/1975520001437122919

Web3 Foundation announced new grant guidelines yesterday. If you’re interested in being funded by W3F, please check it out. https://x.com/BillLaboon/status/1975510867610374202

Kusama News

Kusama has successfully migrated balances, staking, and governance to Asset Hub. https://forum.polkadot.network/t/asset-hub-migration-2025/11129/73

Please note that Referenda 590 and 600 could not be transferred over (this was known ahead of time) and have been cancelled. They should be re-submitted. https://kusama.subsquare.io/referenda/590

Dónal also had a great thread on this, if you’d like to replay all the drama (spoiler alert: there was no realmdrama). https://x.com/domuiri/status/1975559650272784692

You may see a few other issues in third-party application user interfaces, e.g. governance lock periods show up incorrectly on Polkadot Developer Console. These are just UI issue, not problems with the chain. https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/11887

I am off the next two days, so this will be my last Polkadot Digest - Radha is taking over on Monday. So long, and thanks for all the Referenda =) https://x.com/BillLaboon/status/1972666169115963617
