🚨 Time is Running Out! Only 3 Days Left to Vote! 🚨

We're excited to announce a major proposal under RT2900/RT2901 that is set to significantly enhance the performance and capabilities of our network. This update includes pivotal changes such as:

Governance Adjustments: We're moving forward with disabling Gov V1, introducing the FastGeneralAdmin governance track for quicker XCM channel openings, and implementing improvements to XCM fee payments.

SDK Upgrades and XCM Enhancements: The upgrade to Polkadot SDK 1.7.2 promises smoother integration and improved features across various pallets. Furthermore, we've added a crucial safety measure to pause XCM message processing during halted block production, protecting our network from potential spam attacks.
