This referendum proposes to execute a batch call that will:
1️⃣ Send an XCM message to enable automatic Bulk Coretime renewals using Astar’s sovereign account
2️⃣ Finalize the XCM versioning handshake between Astar Network and the Coretime chain
🔧 Purpose of This Referendum
✅ Activate auto-renewals so Astar Network’s Bulk Coretime slot is automatically extended every 28 days
✅ Complete the XCM versioning handshake to ensure seamless cross-chain communication with the Coretime chain
✅ Remove the need for repeated governance actions or manual lease renewals
📌 Why This Matters
With Astar Network’s parachain lease expiring in August 2025, Agile Coretime provides a more flexible and sustainable model than crowdloan auctions.
By enabling auto-renewals and finalizing the XCM handshake, this referendum ensures Astar Network has uninterrupted Coretime access and full compatibility with the Coretime system chain for future upgrades.
📡 This is the second and final referendum in Astar Network’s transition to Agile Coretime. Once approved, Coretime will renew automatically (as long as DOT funds are available) and the channel will be fully operational, securing Astar Network’s long-term stability on Polkadot.
