Closing the Tab on Polkassembly
Polkassembly submitted Referendum 1839 to fund a transition to closure after future funding discussions with the Web3 Foundation stalled. The 62.7K USDT request covers discounted contributor pay and essential closure costs, with operations continuing for four months during the wind-down.
An ASTR-nomical Refinement
Taking community feedback onboard, the Astar Foundation is proposing updates to the Tokenomics 3.0 model. Target inflation would be reduced from 7% to 5.5%, with a max ASTR supply of 10B. DApp Staking would be streamlined, limiting participation to 16 projects and moving to annual voting.

From the Pool to the Real World
Hydration Referendum 251, if passed, will remove 930K aUSDT and 931K aUSDC in protocol-owned liquidity from the money market, preparing it for reallocation toward new RWA opportunities. As a positive side effect, this will also result in higher APRs for stablecoin liquidity suppliers.
