Runtime release notification
Hello,
This is to advise you that the Polkadot community is currently voting to upgrade Polkadot system chains to the v2.5.0 release.
This is a major runtime upgrade that adds two new tracks to OpenGov: technical_maintenance and prosperity_emergency.
The technical_maintenance track will be used to update future apps’ operational settings such as quotas, allowances, limits and anti-spam fees. The prosperity_emergency track is intended to safeguard economic mechanisms.
Important note for Ecosystem builders:
This release also contains a PR that integrates multiple Individuality SDK components into People Polkadot and AssetHub Polkadot.
You can find more details about this change here.
The projected enactment date for this runtime upgrade is around 11th September 2026.
Many thanks.
