#87 Runtime upgrade - Bug fixes and improvements

For a second-grade student:

1. A group called Acala wants to give people some digital money called ACA as a reward for doing things that help their project. They want to move some of this money from one account to another.
2. They want to change how much ACA people get as a reward for "staking" (which means holding onto the ACA) starting on October 30, 2023.
3. They also want to change how much ACA people get as a reward for "staking" a pair of digital money called ACA-USDC starting on the same day.
4. They want to give more ACA as a reward for staking in both cases.
5. This is all part of a plan to encourage people to help Acala and use their digital money.

- Increase the reward rate for two pools on the Acala network.
- The changes will happen at a specific block number in the future.

Increase Reward Rate for DOT LST pool

3. Later on, the conversion of DOT to LDOT and TDOT will be authorized, and unstaking will be allowed again. 
4. At a later time, loyalty bonus rewards will no longer be deducted when claiming rewards for certain pools. 
5. All of these changes will happen at specific block numbers and times in the future.

Launch DOT LST pool and Adjust Reward Rate

LCDOT is a type of token that lets people use their DOT contribution to Acala crowdloan to access liquidity. Acala has leased a parachain slot and will get another one for two years. When the lease ends, the crowdloaned DOT will be claimed and available on Acala. This proposal is to set up a procedure for LCDOT holders to claim their DOT back. There are two calls involved, and the first one is to claim back a small amount of DOTs as a test call. The second call will transfer the remaining amount back to the crowdloan pallet. Once the funds are deposited successfully, users will be able to redeem their LCDOT to DOT 1:1.

- A proposal has been made to adjust the risk parameters of aUSD in preparation for its conversion to aSEED (Acala).
- The risk parameters that will be adjusted include the liquidation ratio, debt ceiling, stability fee, and liquidity penalty.
- The liquidation ratio will be set to 0%, which means that there will be no margin for error in the event of a price drop.
- The debt ceiling will also be set to 0, which means that no more aUSD can be minted.
- The proposal was made following the passing of the vote for the generation of the Exodus Plan.

Untitled - public proposal #25

- A proposal was made to improve risk management for Acala.
- The proposal suggests decreasing the debt ceiling for DOT, LDOT, LCDOT, and ACA.
- Risk parameters need to be adjusted based on market conditions to balance insolvencies, liquidations, and capital efficiency.
- Lowering the debt ceiling can help reduce the risk of excessive debt exposure.
- This will help the protocol remain solvent and resilient in volatile market conditions.
