SUMMARY
The Polkadot runtime upgrade to v1.1.2 introduced an unintentional breaking change that prevented three staking accounts from receiving staking rewards across multiple eras. This proposal seeks to reimburse these accounts for the rewards they should have earned for backing validators and securing the network.
The process was detailed by core developer gpestana in multiple articles compiled in the following Polkadot Forum post:
Recover corrupted Staking ledgers in Polkadot and Kusama
The referendum could not be proposed until the runtime upgrade to v1.4.0, which corrected the balance state of one of the affected accounts (PR 538).
TIMELINE
- 2024-02-19 Breaking change introduced in runtime upgrade v1.1.2
- 2024-03-15 Hotfix on runtime upgrade to v1.1.3.
- 2024-10-15 Runtime upgrade to v1.3.3 set the correct ledger/stash status.
- 2025-02-26 The balance issue for one of the accounts was corrected on runtime v.1.4.0.
PROPOSAL DETAILS
Each account faced a unique situation, and the analysis took into account the bonded funds at the time rewards ceased, the number of eras the payee account went without receiving rewards, and the average APY during that period.
Below is the information for each affected account:
Affected account: 138fZsNu67JFtiiWc1eWK2Ev5jCYT6ZirZM288tf99CUHk8K
- Payee account: 12YcbjN5cvqM63oK7WMhNtpTQhtCrrUr4ntzqqrJ4EijvDE8
- Last era with rewards: 1400
- Last bonded balance before not receiving rewards (DOT): 8,556
- Last era with no rewards: 1597
- Eras without rewards: 197
- Average APY during that period (%): 17.18
- Missing rewards (DOT): 1,603.46
Affected account: 15bt67qghz8hJxCUPgAXmzVxUBHLpPN41RVm2nwMFyLWByVE
- Payee account: 15bt67qghz8hJxCUPgAXmzVxUBHLpPN41RVm2nwMFyLWByVE
- Last era with rewards: 1646
During era 1526, the stash account 14kwUJW6rtjTVW3RusMecvTfDqjEMAt8W159jAGBJqPrwwvC was wrongly scored with 0 in the 'voterlist'. However, the account 15bt67 kept receiving rewards until era 1646. During era 1683, the account 14kwUJ 'voterlist' score was updated and the same account started to receive rewards at era 1684. - Last bonded balance before not receiving rewards (DOT): 4,261
- Last era with no rewards: 1683
- Eras without rewards: 37
- Average APY during that period (%): 12.93
- Missing rewards (DOT): 587.11
Affected account: 12gmcL9eej9jRBFT26vZLF4b7aAe4P9aEYHGHFzJdmf5arPi
- Payee account: 12gmcL9eej9jRBFT26vZLF4b7aAe4P9aEYHGHFzJdmf5arPi
- Last era with rewards: 1402
- Last bonded balance before not receiving rewards (DOT): 7,110

Decentralized High Performance Object Storage (MinIO)
Decentralized object storage that seamlessly slots into place, replacing centralized solutions, is still hard to come by. MinIO (https://min.io/), a high-performance and S3-compatible object storage, is already an established standard available on every public cloud, every Kubernetes distribution, private cloud, and the edge.

Decentralized object storage that seamlessly slots into place, replacing centralized solutions, is still hard to come by. MinIO (https://min.io/), a high-performance and S3-compatible object storage, is already an established standard available on every public cloud, every Kubernetes distribution, private cloud, and the edge.
By activating the storage of Acurast’s (https://acurast.com/) worldwide decentralized Cloud combined with MinIO, not only can Polkadot-native projects leverage true decentralized storage, but enterprises are also enabled to simply switch from their existing setup to a decentralized one.
Context of the Proposal
The main goal is to build out the MVP integration for MinIO to be run in Acurast’s decentralized compute environment and making it accessible to developers.
- MVP integration of MinIO object storage in Acurast’s decentralized compute environment
- Creation of storage buckets and configurable access control
- Configuration and development in making MinIO exposable through Acurast native P2P layer
- Benchmarking of required replications and estimated costs per GB storage on Acurast’s network
- Testing and detailed developer documentation with detailed developer examples of how to access MinIO in Acurast’s compute environment
About Acurast
Acurast is the first decentralized verifiable compute network powered by phones.
Acurast is redefining compute by utilizing billions of smartphones – no data centers required. This verifiable, scalable, and confidential compute network enables users to run secure applications on decentralized infrastructure at scale—without compromising speed or privacy.
By leveraging these phones with their Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) in combination of a Polkadot-powered blockchain, Acurast is perfectly suited for running mission critical workloads with high-security requirements. With over 50,000+ phones onboarded worldwide on its incentivized testnet on Kusama with over 200M transactions processed.

The Future of Polkadot Depends on Talent
The Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) is the single largest and most effective pipeline of talent into the Polkadot ecosystem. Over the past three years, close to 750 learners have completed our courses, many of whom now produce significant contributions towards Polkadot or ecosystem projects.
We are at a pivotal moment. The future of Polkadot depends not just on innovation but on a steady stream of highly skilled, motivated builders who can create and execute impactful projects, advance the network's capabilities and drive adoption. The PBA has proven its ability to deliver, our alumni are shaping the ecosystem, and demand for our programs has never been higher.
To capitalize on this momentum, we are requesting nine months of funding to scale our programs and diversify our offerings, making PBA more inclusive, relevant and far-reaching than ever before.
Why support PBA? A Track Record of Success
- We are the largest producer of well educated, Polkadot-native talent – No other initiative has onboarded more developers successfully.
- Close to 70% of 409 PBA Campus graduates actively contributed to open-source Polkadot-related repositories in 2024.
- Trusted by ecosystem leaders – Parity, The Web3 Foundation and other top teams recruit directly from our alumni.
- Expanding accessibility – Our online course, PBA-X, launched in January with 580+ learners, and close to 60% completion rate, proving demand for remote education for a diverse audience.
Ongoing Evolution: Scaling & Strengthening Polkadot’s Talent Engine
With this funding, we will:
- Expand PBA’s flagship in-person PBA Campus program (Wave 7) to train and place the next cohort of high-impact developers.
- Launch The JAM Course, an intensive in person course demystifying Polkadot’s JAM protocol, for top-tier engineers from the Web3 community.
- Grow university partnerships, integrating PBA content into curricula and securing the next generation of builders.
- Enhance alumni engagement through ongoing participation orientated events, education, placement and mentorship opportunities.
- Build upon the success of PBA-X to offer new content based on the needs of the ecosystem, whilst continuing to run the original PBA-X content for 5 more cohorts in 2025.
- Continue to identify, mentor and funnel new projects into the ecosystem via the Pitch and Mentor program.
Polkadot’s growth depends on its builders. By funding PBA, we secure a sustainable, scalable pipeline of developers, entrepreneurs and advocates who will drive the ecosystem forward.
