A surprising turn of events has emerged in the realm of Coretime, as a recent auction saw an unnamed actor acquire the majority of Coretime on both Polkadot and Kusama. The actor followed all established protocols, raising questions and concerns among DOT holders and supporters of fair market practices.
In the latest Coretime auction, sources confirm that an unidentified individual purchased a large quantity of Coretime, viewing it as underpriced. This action has disturbed many within the community, as it appeared to subsidize Parachains at the expense of DOT holders. Following this acquisition, the actor is now negotiating resale options for the cores.
A new referendum has emerged, proposing to bypass established rules to create additional cores for Parachains that failed to renew. This specifically targets the Mythical and Xcavate Parachains, raising eyebrows about Polkadot leadership's priorities.
"This sets a dangerous precedent for fairness in our ecosystem," stated a user on a forum.
User commentary reflects a mix of frustration and defiance:
Many believe flaws in the current core time sales model have long been ignored.
A comment noted, "3500 DOT is nothing for Giotto, who has dealt in much larger sums."
Others fear that bending protocol rules favors certain projects at the expense of fair pricing.

As the situation unfolds, will the community unite against perceived injustices? Now is a crucial moment for DOT holders to take action. The call is clear: itโs time to vote against this referendum to protect the integrity of the ecosystem.
