The #coretime parachain is running on #Rococo since some days now. Yesterday we upgraded #Rococo to use #coretime, but the XCM message send by the migration was a little bit faulty. Today we resend the XCM message that used more than 50 instructions to setup the #coretime state.

The coretime sales have started on #Rococo. Bulk #coretime on Rococo is configured to give you one week of blockspace for your parachain. Next week we will probably open a slot to buy and move some long running leases to use bulk coretime. #Polkadot.

Exactly what I would like to see on Polkadot. UIs should not be chain specific. The user should not be required to know where are their funds. Show the entire balance and transfer the funds as required with XCM. We already have most of the stuff, we just need to use it.

It’s not an issue with rich transaction semantics. @Polkadot transactions are substantially more powerful than Ethereum’s yet we still have secure and definitive human-readable descriptions *on the cold device*. See Polkadot Vault and signed metadata.

As we’ve seen once again, blind signing poses a significant security risk and is one of the main barriers to non-custodial finance. Most contracts still don’t leverage EIP-712, either because it takes too much work to implement or because the generated text is too hard for users

This means that #Rococo and the #coretime parachain are setup correctly. The parachain is not yet sending any schedules to #Rococo or providing any sales. This requires one more transaction, but this will probaby not happen this year anymore.

@lolmcshizz @Polkadot With elastic scaling you get multiple cores on the relay chain, which enables you to put more data into a block. What I have done here is to bring down the latency, while still allowing you to include the same total amount of data into one block.
