- HDX buybacks with Treasury H2O are happening in small steps called tranches.
- The first tranche is almost done, and the second one will start soon.
- HDX holders wanted a slower schedule, so the time between buybacks has been doubled.
- Each tranche will swap 10,000 H2O for HDX.
- The swap will happen every 44 blocks with a small amount of H2O each time.
- There’s a limit on how much the price can change (1.5% slippage).
- The process will take about 22 days, but it might take a little longer.

Add tBTC to Omnipool

vote NAY

- A vote is happening about some assets: tBTC, USDT, USDC, wstETH, LINK, SKY, and LDO.
- These assets are on Snowbridge and need to be "touched."
- "Touching" means making sure the assets can be used because there's a limit to how many assets an account can hold.
- The limit is 64, and the account is full, so "touching" helps add more.
- This is done by sending a message from Hydration to Asset Hub.
- It's needed to send these assets to Hydration.
- Code for this is in a special place on GitHub.

"Touch" Snowbridge assets 👀

- Update information for Chainlink (LINK), Sky (SKY), Lido (LDO), and Wrapped Staked ETH (wstETH).
- Add LINK, SKY, LDO, and wstETH as options to pay fees.
- These assets are already registered but need more details added.

Update asset registry for LINK, SKY, LDO & wstETH

- Each trade: `2.222` H2O every `22` blocks.
- Slippage limit: `1.5%`.
- Max retries: `9`.
- Expected to last `~11` days.
- More steps like this may follow.

Withdraw POL BTC 2-Pool shares & launch iBTC & WBTC trading in Omnipool

Runtime upgrade to v34

- This proposal is about changing how we handle Bitcoin (BTC) products in the Omnipool.
- It wants to stop trading and adding new shares for a specific pool (2-Pool).
- It will remove a specific BTC position (#5690) from the Omnipool and move it to the Treasury.
- It will also take out all BTC shares from the stablepool, based on the current ratio of WBTC and iBTC.
- After that, it will allow trading of WBTC and iBTC directly in the Omnipool at their market prices.
- This needs to happen quickly because waiting too long could change prices and amounts.
- Existing users can still take out their money and leave the farms.
