#governancenews
As we promised, we bring you our first governance news from Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. As you probably know, one of the main features of every parachain is the on-chain governance — the very same one you can find on Polkadot or Kusama. Therefore we feel important to highlight the most important governance related events not only from relay chains but from the whole Dotsama ecosystem!
- Polkadot: #58 Statemint Upgrade v800 referendum passed. Statemint is the first common good parachain for Polkadot and at this moment, the v800 runtime upgrade was already executed.
