One notable referendum is number 114, which proposes to onboard a Bridge Hub system parachain to Polkadot. As of now, the referendum is passing with 99.9% in favor, and there are seven days left to vote. This proposal is significant because the Bridge Hub will serve as a gateway for different parachains to communicate with each other, enhancing interoperability in the ecosystem.
Another proposal that is passing unanimously is Referendum 115. This proposal seeks to open three new HRMP channels between Statemint and Bitgreen/Subsocial/Manta, and there are still 13 days left to vote. These channels will facilitate the transfer of data and assets between different parachains, thereby increasing connectivity and efficiency within the ecosystem.
However, not all proposals are passing with ease. Referendum 117 is currently failing with 77% in favor, requiring a supermajority to pass. This referendum seeks to force a transfer back to the Treasury from a previous Treasury Proposal. The proposal aims to return Supercolony’s lost funds to the Treasury, but it faces challenges as it requires a significant majority to pass.
In other news, there is an ongoing discussion about establishing Polkadot Hubs in South-East Asia, with the initial focus being Indonesia, Bali. The Polkadot Hub will serve as a physical location for research and a case study on the concept of long-term physical locations all over Southeast Asia. The proposal, accessible via Google Docs, outlines the objectives and strategies of the Bali Sanctuary project.
