1/ Everyone loves a roadmap, right? Well guess what — Polkadot founder @rphmeier has shared some exciting insights into proposals for a series of major upgrades.

Head straight to the blog or read this 🧵for the highlights! polkadot.network/blog/polkadot-…
2/ Asynchronous Backing will cut the block time for parachains down to 6 seconds from 12 and increase block space by 5-10x, hugely enhancing scalability.

This will increase the amount of work every chain can do AND optimize network performance, allowing scope for more parachains
3/ It’s estimated this will take the transactions-per-second capacity of the network to between 100k and one million without affecting security.

Asynchronous Backing could be ready for deployment on @kusamanetwork by the end of 2022 and then on Polkadot, pending audits & testing

1/ The Polkadot staking dashboard has seen some exciting updates since its launch. In the past month, there has been a big focus on nomination pools.

Learn more about nomination pools from @ParityTech engineers @rossbulat and @kianenigma

🧵
2/ Nomination pools are now fully supported in the staking dashboard and you can test-drive the feature on Westend and @kusamanetwork 🙌

The pools will soon be enabled on Polkadot and then the staking dashboard will be ready for you to create, join and manage pools
3/ All nomination pools are natively hosted on-chain and are part of the Polkadot runtime, so they are upgradable, secure, and fully embedded as part of the Relay Chain.

So what else can you do beyond joining or creating a pool? Let’s break down some more of the features

1/ Congratulations to @Kiltprotocol on making Web3 history! KILT has successfully moved from @kusamanetwork to the Polkadot Relay Chain, marking the first time a live blockchain has migrated from one network to another.

Read on to learn why they did it.
polkadot.network/blog/first-par…
2/ Kusama provided the ideal place for KILT to develop applications quickly, stress-test their technology and try things out.

Thanks to Kusama’s fast iteration cycles, KILT was able to quickly become decentralized, add new functionalities, and prove its robustness and utility.
3/ But KILT, an identity protocol for issuing verifiable credentials and decentralized identifiers, began seeing adoption by large-scale enterprises.

This required a high level of stability and security that can't be guaranteed within the more experimental environment of Kusama.

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.
