AstarNetwork/Astar runtime-2500

on GitHub

Description

This is runtime-only release, client isn't impacted.

This release brings:

• WASM smart contracts decommission, final step: pallet-contracts is removed from the runtimes, and its contract child tries and leftover storage are purged in a multi-block storage migration - #1687
• ORML dependencies removal, including the XTokens pallet and its storage - #1685
• XCM precompile rework: xtokens calls are reimplemented on top of pallet_xcm- #1690
