⚠️Important Notice: Interlay Block Times Increased Due to Polkadot Relay Chain⚠️

- The block times on Interlay have increased due to an issue on the Polkadot relay chain. You can find more information about this issue at https://twitter.com/dev0_sik/status/1634593303608938497.
- Unfortunately, it is unclear when the situation will be resolved, and we cannot do anything about it at this time.
- This issue affects all parachains on Polkadot, not just Interlay.
- As a result of this issue, our block times on Interlay have increased from an average of about 12.5s to 28s. You can check our current block times at https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fapi.interlay.io%2Fparachain#/explorer/latency.
- Please note that due to the block time issues, the INTR block rewards are paid out slower (only every 28s instead of every 12.5s).

📢Kintsugi's Vault capacity model is now live! 📢

👉The old Vault reward distribution model is based on how much kBTC/iBTC has been minted with a Vault.
💡This model presented itself unsuitable, both in terms of fairness, capital efficiency, and benefit to protocol growth.
💰The capacity-based model hence takes into account kBTC/iBTC capacity, i.e., how much BTC a Vault can secure, unrelated to how much is already being used.
🚀 The capacity-based model focuses on increasing minting capacity for new users ahead of the Kintsugi and Interlay 2.0 DeFi hub launch, which aim to onboard significant numbers of BTC DeFi users onto Interlay.

Updated vault docs: https://docs.interlay.io/#/vault/overview?id=fee-distribution-based-on-btc-capacity

FYI
Interlay is not affected by SVB or any of the other bank closures.
More focused than ever, getting ready to launch the best #Bitcoin DeFi products in the space.
