Sure, hello everyone. Thanks for having me. Hope you can hear me well. As a matter of the course, I'm going to give you a recap of the Kusama and the Polka. government and treasury proposals. I think are the most interesting for these months. Let's start with the Kusama and decide

1/8 and system power change to version 9/382. The upgrade is crucial step for the ecosystem since it includes the XM version 3. However, the community took a longer period time to vote and enact this upgrade due to the need for the teams to prepare and
monitor any potential issues that may arise once the XM3 is deployed. Nonetheless, the successful deployment of the XM3 demonstrates the robustness and reliability of the network, which is continuously evolving and improving to meet needs of the users.

the teams that have been funded by Treasury before to maintain infrastructure and perform continued operations to reduce the work of resubmitting the Treasury proposals and the time constraints associated with it. The bounty of the teams that provided common good to community, including
