Ecosystem Headlines

Polkadot/Kusama

• Going forward, Polkadot and Kusama runtime upgrades will be using compressed runtimes. Until now, they had been using uncompressed versions which, due to being a waste of on-chain space, also caused a recent upgrade to fail due to the runtime file being too big.
• Rococo, the parachain testnet that laid the groundwork for parachains on Kusama Network and Polkadot, now evolves into a community-maintained parachain testbed. Learn about the upcoming Rococo revamp and what it means for parachain teams.
• The first two batches of Parachain Auctions on Polkadot were announced to great fanfare. At some point, #Polkadot was trending on Twitter—talk about community excitement. If you wish to participate in the crowdloans, now is the time to unstake your DOT as unstaking takes 28 days on Polkadot.
• There have been several questions about staking rewards recently. If you are not receiving staking rewards, please read this article for possible issues.

Core Stack

• ERC20-like traits have been added to substrate, supporting information like approvals, total supply, and other information on the assets pallet, making integration with other code more intuitive.

Tools

• Substrate API Sidecar is at a new major version: V10. This is a breaking change due to new metadata formats, and should be added by any consumer of the sidecar tool.
• Polkadot JS Apps UI will now show you multiple vesting schedules per account, if available.
• Fearless Wallet is preparing to integrate EDG. We'll update when the new release is available.
