RT OliverTY (@OliverTaleYazdi)Polkadot Relay Node and Asset Hub node operators: please add the CLI flag "--db-cache 8000" to your nodes as preparation for the Asset Hub migration.Context from @kianenigma https://t.co/oOng9tM5wD ...

Network Performance & Scalability - Elastic Scaling is live, aiming for faster blocks and optimized CPU usage, allowing parachains to scale elastically [1] - Testing 500ms blocks on single cores to separate latency from resource usage [1] Asset Management & Migration - Asset Hub migration is ongoing, focusing on tests and validation, moving pallets to fungible assets for more flexible and scalable asset management for Polkadot/Kusama [1] Optimization & Testing - Reimplementing gas cost model in SIMD for faster, more accurate gas calculations [1] - Mini-Fuzzing tool released for local testing of implementations, with official auditing process using similar steps [1] Governance & Updates - Hard Pressure referendum approved and ready for runtime release after asset hub migration [1] - Rank review and retention votes updated to improve speed and agility for proposal approvals and RFCs [3] Development & Community - Hackathon – Polkadot Builders Party targeting Web2 and Web3 devs to test SDKs, storage, compute, gaming, AI, social and other services [3] - Elastic Scaling + Polka.2.0 almost ready for parachain rollout [3] - Multiple parallel initiatives are in progress [3]
