Make Kusama Chaotic Again

In his latest Polkadot Forum post, Shawn Tabrizi has proposed to bring Kusama back to its cypherpunk roots, embracing anonymity, activism, and a DIY ethos. One potential Kusama enhancement in his proposal is the introduction of ZK primitives for privacy-preserving applications. In addition, he believes that Kusama could become the Web3 Cloud for the dark renaissance. The conversation is ongoing and ideas are flowing in the forum, so head on over to have your say.

The oldest DePIN project in the ecosystem wins the latest Polkadot Auction slot.

Robonomics have won the 75th auction with a self-funded bid and will be coming to Polkadot. The team will still be committed to Kusama where a freeium offering of their Web3 cloud IoT service will be offered. Much of the learning from Kusama will be applied to Polkadot, where the first commercial Roboservice will be launched in October and used by mult-apartment projects in Cyprus. Collators can still decide to support both implementations with block rewards in XRT. Additionally, the Polkadot Kusama bridge will make it easier to move tokens.
