Argument

My main focus this period has been chipping away at the Currencyfungible migration tracked in polkadot-sdk#226. This is one of those long-running cleanup efforts that touches a lot of pallets - replacing the old ReservableCurrency / LockableCurrency patterns with the newer fungible hold/freeze model.

It's unglamorous work, but each pallet migration involves more than a find-and-replace. You need to introduce proper HoldReason variants, rewrite deposit logic, write storage migrations to move existing reserves over to holds, update benchmarks, and make sure it all plays nicely with the runtime configs.

Here are the PRs I've put up as part of this effort:

Some of these have been through multiple rounds of review already. I've been iterating on feedback from maintainers and other fellows throughout.

Alongside direct SDK contributions, I have also been helping educate new developers through PBA-X and the upcoming campus in Lisbon. While this does not count toward Fellowship contributions, it supports the broader ecosystem by onboarding new engineers and strengthening the developer pipeline for Substrate and Polkadot.
