      Add a linear fee multiplier (#127) (#3790) · 22d5b80d
      Vincent Geddes authored 
      Bridging fees are calculated using a static ETH/DOT exchange rate that
can deviate significantly from the real-world exchange rate. We
therefore need to add a safety margin to the fee so that users almost
aways cover the cost of relaying.

# FAQ

> Why introduce a `multiplier` parameter instead of configuring an
exchange rate which already has a safety factor applied?

When converting from ETH to DOT, we need to _divide_ the multiplier by
the exchange rate, and to convert from DOT to ETH we need to _multiply_
the multiplier by the exchange rate.

> Other input parameters to the fee calculation can also deviate from
real-world values. These include substrate weights, gas prices, and so
on. Why does the multiplier introduced here not adjust those?

A single scalar multiplier won't be able to accommodate the different
volatilities efficiently. For example, gas prices are much more volatile
than exchange rates, and substrate weights hardly ever change.

So the pricing config relating to weights and gas prices should already
have some appropriate safety margin pre-applied.

# Detailed Changes:

* Added `multiplier` field to `PricingParameters`
* Outbound-queue fee is multiplied by `multiplier`
* This `multiplier` is synced to the Ethereum side
* Improved Runtime API for calculating outbound-queue fees. This API
makes it much easier to for configure parts of the system in preparation
for launch.
* Improve and clarify code documentation

      Snowbridge Beacon header age check (#3727) · 3410dfb3
      Clara van Staden authored 
      ## Bug Explanation
Adds a check that prevents finalized headers with a gap larger than the
sync committee period being imported, which could cause execution
headers in the gap being unprovable. The current version of the Ethereum
client checks that there is a header at least every sync committee, but
it doesn't check that the headers are within a sync period of each
other. For example:

Header 100 (sync committee period 1)
Header 9000 (sync committee period 2)
(8900 blocks apart)

These headers are in adjacent sync committees, but more than the sync
committee period (8192 blocks) apart.

The reason we need a header every 8192 slots at least, is the header is
used to prove messages within the last 8192 blocks. If we import header
9000, and we receive a message to be verified at header 200, the
`block_roots` field of header 9000 won't contain the header in order to
do the ancestry check.

## Environment
While running in Rococo, this edge case was discovered after the relayer
was offline for a few days. It is unlikely, but not impossible, to
happen again and so it should be backported to polkadot-sdk 1.7.0 (so
that
[polkadot-fellows/runtimes](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes)
can be updated with the fix).

Our Ethereum client has been operational on Rococo for the past few
months, and this been the only major issue discovered so far.

### Unrelated Change
An unrelated nit: Removes a left over file that should have been deleted
when the `parachain` directory was removed.

      Adding LF's bootnodes to relay and system chains (#3514) · ea5f4e9a
      Will | Paradox | ParaNodes.io authored 
      

Good day,

I'm seeking to add the following bootnodes for Kusama and Polkadot's
relay and system chains. The following commands can be used to test
connectivity. All node keys are backed up.

Polkadot:
```
polkadot --chain polkadot --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-polkadot.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWAdyiVAaeGdtBt6vn5zVetwA4z4qfm9Fi2QCSykN1wTBJ" --no-hardware-benchmarks
```


Assethub-Polkadot:

```
polkadot-parachain --chain asset-hub-polkadot --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-polkadot-assethub.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWDR9M7CjV1xdjCRbRwkFn1E7sjMaL4oYxGyDWxuLrFc2J" --no-hardware-benchmarks

```

Bridgehub-Polkadot:

```
polkadot-parachain --chain bridge-hub-polkadot --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-polkadot-bridgehub.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWKf3mBXHjLbwtPqv1BdbQuwbFNcQQYxASS7iQ25264AXH" --no-hardware-benchmarks

```
Collectives-Polkadot

```
polkadot-parachain --chain collectives-polkadot --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-polkadot-collectives.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWCzifnPooTt4kvTnXT7FTKTymVL7xn7DURQLsS2AKpf6w" --no-hardware-benchmarks

```
Kusama:

```
polkadot --chain kusama --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-kusama.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWS1Lu6DmK8YHSvkErpxpcXmk14vG6y4KVEFEkd9g62PP8" --no-hardware-benchmarks

```
Assethub-Kusama:

```
polkadot-parachain --chain asset-hub-kusama --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-kusama-assethub.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWSwaeFs6FNgpgh54fdoxSDAA4nJNaPE3PAcse2GRrG7b3" --no-hardware-benchmarks
```

Bridgehub-Kusama:

```
polkadot-parachain --chain bridge-hub-kusama --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-kusama-bridgehub.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWQybw6AFmAvrFfwUQnNxUpS12RovapD6oorh2mAJr4xyd" --no-hardware-benchmarks
```
