After an isolated exploit of Neemo Finance placed its dApp Staking funds at risk, Astar dApp Staking has been placed into maintenance mode. Astar Referendum 27 proposes that the Astar Treasury withdraw and take custody of ~26.78M ASTR unlocked from Neemo’s dApp staking wallet and take ownership of the Neemo dApp. After the execution of this safeguarding solution, which was requested by Neemo Finance, maintenance mode will be disabled and dApp Staking operations will resume.
The Web3 Foundation has updated the JAM Implementers Prize to include three streams. The Validating Node Path offers a maximum prize of 500,000 DOT + 5,000 KSM for a complete implementation of JAM with full validation, block-authoring, and performant PVM. Non-PVM Validating Node Path offers 350,000 DOT and 3,500 KSM. It allows the addition of a third-party PVM implementation to meet performance requirements. Up to 250,000 DOT and 2,500 KSM is offered in the Light Node Path for the creation of a light-weight JAM node, and does not require block-authoring ability.
