Since I have seen a few people asking about this recently: Explanation of why we decided to launch Kintsugi and have a canary network (article from 2021): https://medium.com/interlay/the-interlay-parachain-is-coming-to-polkadot-552a57ff8d1b Kintsugi has exceeded all expectations in terms of value add. No bugs on Interlay, all issues caught on Kintsugi (even those that we could not catch on testnet). And with lending and AMM rolling out in a few weeks, Kintsugi will see a lot of radical action and chaos

🏗️Kintsugi XCM Update 🏗️ As some of you may be aware, due to the recent outage you may have experienced delays in XCM messaging. The team is happy to say that we've checked through all XCM messages and that they should have been processed correctly 👏 When block production halted, several XCM transfers were made to Kintsugi. We've inspected the historic Relay Chain State, as well as subscan to find the following transactions: - https://kintsugi.subscan.io/xcm_message/kusama-b5f92ac1130ac70effa4193ae7c4d7ce8259e749 - https://kintsugi.subscan.io/xcm_message/kusama-bc5d93db24f5501e3f23460ae7871ea166a4718f - https://kintsugi.subscan.io/xcm_message/kusama-f4b730ae7f824971afe16d5c60148e394e59e6c9 We have confirmed that when block production resumed, these messages were processed: -https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fapi-kusama.interlay.io%2Fparachain#/explorer/query/0x7252f09f6fe88e2853720337effae26c5bb80aa6d2366a4f67a00697ea8e747f Similarly, some xcm transfers were queued on Kintsugi collators while block production was halted, e.g. - https://kintsugi.stg.subscan.io/xcm_message/kusama-acab17050d3b0263b57851cc0804abf5850fffcf - https://kintsugi.stg.subscan.io/xcm_message/kusama-b195ddc73e415b228c711bfa0b0b5159fed4316f - https://kintsugi.stg.subscan.io/xcm_message/kusama-a6bee90b78e3f3a04fff8286a106f1a20f895b6c - https://kintsugi.stg.subscan.io/xcm_message/kusama-3f5d426dcf796302e4b88cd2f202c3f3c38aac1e We verified that these were processed correctly as well: - https://parallel-heiko.stg.subscan.io/block/2499177?tab=event We're happy to reassure you that no funds were lost by XCM transfers made whilst block production was halted🎉

KINTSUGI UPDATE If you're not already aware, Kintsugi recently stopped producing blocks due to a recent bug, however a Kusama Governance proposal is currently underway to help us recover the Kintsugi Parachain! The only way to recover the Kintsugi chain is to update the runtime on the relay-chain via Kusama governance and upgrading all Kintsugi collators How can I help!? 1️⃣ VOTE! 13% of the total KSM supply is needed for this to work, therefore if you're holding any KSM at all, please check check out the link below & vote! 2️⃣ SHARE! Sharing this post and any posts on the Kintsugi twitter relating to this incident will always be helpful, so if you cant vote then we ask that you share this message with as many KSM voters as possible! 🔗 to referenda https://kusama.polkassembly.io/referenda/8 🔗 to Tweet https://twitter.com/kintsugi_btc/status/1599711963327524864?s=20&t=n9eI3LobNEZLpJUHDmYs5Q
