## **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](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](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](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](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](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](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](https://x.com/BillLaboon/status/1972666169115963617)
