Common Good Parachains
summary
Common good parachains get granted a slot forever via public referendum instead of winning auctions, run using the relay chain’s native token (DOT/KSM) and delegate major governance to the relay chain; this frees up consensus capacity by moving work from 1,000 validators to ~10 per parachain. The first example, statement, is an assets parachain supporting fungible and soon non‑fungible tokens, paying fees in those assets, with deposits and fees initially set at one‑tenth (target 1/50th) and enabled by asset teleportation and collective dispatch.
