For the gamers out there: This is how the JJ Polkadot deals with the MS #FUD over the holidays 😁: A salvo of S3 hybrid missiles carrying HEKP warheads and decoy launchers to confuse enemy point defense. (Sound on!) streamable.com/mzv1h8

I've published a research digest of our newest paper on candle auctions. We holistically analyse the mechanism from a theoretical, empirical and experimental perspective. Our results indicate that the mechanism works exceptionally well and is a promising tool for digital

An overdue update on the implementation of the variable unbonding time for staked tokens on the Polkadot relay chain (RFC-0097): BlockDeep Labs has taken ownership of the implementation with an estimated completion around the end of May. While additional time will be needed for

Random thought: I wonder when an AI agent will first outsource a task to a human.

Remember Candle Auctions on Polkadot and Mr. H Kusama!? We've recently published a paper showing that they worked pretty well as a price-finding mechanism (Link below). But what do you think about them conceptually (not what happened in them historically)? Were they easy to

Here's an RFC from Jonas which details his proposed changes to the coretime system github.com/polkadot-fello…

I've created a small simulator app (hosted by Karim Jedda) that implements the market mechanism proposed in RFC 15 (polkadot-fellows.github.io/RFCs/proposed/…). Try it here: jonas-coretime.jedda.eu (there can still be bugs). You can create different scenarios for demand and supply for Polkadot

If you hold coretime on kusama or Polkadot, I’d like to discuss my proposal to redesign the current market and get your perspective on it. Please feel free to get in touch.

I've pushed a major revision of RFC#0017. The goal was to improve on its clarity and give some more details to address some concerns raised during discussions. I believe this design is the best candidate going forward to get an efficient pricing model for Polkadot's coretime.

Small update on the unbonding queue for staked tokens on the Polkadot Relay Chain (RFC-0097): The team at BlockDeep Labs has completed their PR and is now requesting reviews from staking OGs. Still a bit of road ahead: reviews, minor fixes, audits, packaging into a runtime

RFC#146, which proposes burning 80% of transaction fees on Polkadot’s Relay Chain and all its system parachains, is currently up for voting with the Technical Fellowship 🤞 polkadot-fellows.github.io/RFCs/proposed/…

Some groups, tribes, or nations are intelligent while composed of very stupid individuals; other are stupid while made up of intelligent members. It is all about how people interact.

RFC#0146 proposing a Deflationary Transaction Fee Model for the Relay Chain and its System Parachains just passed the fellowship vote 🥳 check it here: 👇 polkadot-fellows.github.io/RFCs/proposed/…
