New Discord Announcement from THORChain Devs #🚨thornode-mainnet

The security budget reached near the cap this week and prevented a large secured asset deposit. It is important to ensure there is sufficient space in the security budget to allow for continuing growth of the app layer, sustain arbitrage, and create capacity for the order books that will be enabled in `3.12`.

Cap behavior: `Total Node Bond * TVLCapBasisPoints/10000 > Total Vault Value`

The team suggests increasing this mimir from `10000` to `15000` to increase the security budget by 50% (approximately 50m RUNE) and ensure there is capacity to continue normal operations. This is a change to the security posture of the network, as it will allow the network to secure more value in the vaults than the value bonded by nodes. The team is in agreement that the current node distribution has low risk of vault capture and it will continue to be monitored. There is ongoing work to migrate TSS to DKLS, which will further mitigate any risk by allowing for a smaller number of vaults with larger membership.

Please `make mimir` and vote `TVLCAPBASISPOINTS => 15000` if you are in agreement. Please `make relay` with any concerns or 🧵 for discussion.

New Discord Announcement from THORChain Devs #🚨thornode-mainnet

**Mimir Change for Advanced Swap Queue Bug Fix**

There is a bug in the advanced swap queue calculating the maximum quantity where we're applying the derived asset depths, rather than the native asset depths. This effectively makes trades slower & calculate the optimal number of sub-swaps incorrectly. Derived depths are unused, so this mimir change is safe. The devs will issue a patch in a future version, but this mimir will effectively fix the problem in the meantime. @everyone

`make mimir DERIVEDDEPTHBASISPTS => 10000`
`make mimir DERIVEDMINDEPTH => 10000`

A community member has responsibly disclosed a potential exploit in the way bifrost signs UTXO chains. These chains have been temporarily paused out of an abundance of caution until devs can evaluate the issue, make a patch, and release it for network adoption.

We ask all node operators to stay tuned if a patch is released for a quick adoption.
