Earlier today a misconfiguration was found on Acala’s iBTC/aUSD liquidity pool which resulted in erroneous mints of significant amounts of aUSD.
The Acala team reacted quickly through governance, pausing certain chain functions including transfers, thereby keeping over 99% of the minted funds on Acala. The misconfiguration was also quickly rectified.
The Acala team will continue tracing on-chain activity, and will facilitate a community proposal to resolve the issue. Substrate allowed for a fast response by Acala’s community via governance. The Polkadot relay chain and shared security are not affected.

Governance is crucial for decentralized systems.

All systems evolve or they die & blockchains aren't exempt from this universal law. The ease of administering change, the idea that someone can fix a problem or add a new feature, is one of the draws toward centralized systems.🧵
2/ But to be sustainable over a long period of time, systems must decentralize. Economies that cut off trade flow, dictatorships that stop migration, and languages that don’t accept new words all die, or are already dead.
3/ Polkadot’s current governance features a three-chamber structure:

1️⃣ A tech committee for managing upgrade timelines

2️⃣ An approval-voted, elected council to manage parameters, admin, and spending proposals

3️⃣ A general voting system for everything else

1/ Introducing the new Polkadot staking dashboard 💻

This new, user-friendly staking app for the Polkadot community was unveiled last week at @PolkadotDecoded by @ParityTech engineer @rossbulat.

Let's have a look at how it changes the game... 🧵
2/ The dashboard allows you to access all major staking functions on Polkadot through an easy-to-navigate interface.

Research, favorite, and nominate validators, see your payout history, adjust your bond amount and more, all in just a few clicks 🙌
3/ Connect your existing @PolkadotJS extension or @wearetalisman wallet (@subwalletapp & more coming soon), or add any address on a read-only basis to track your payouts & monitor your account.

It currently supports Polkadot, @kusamanetwork, & Westend networks — more on the way.
