is advancing towards its Agile Coretime framework by enabling permissionless channel openings between system chains like Asset Hub, skipping the need for approval via Polkadot’s OpenGov.
This feature is part of a broader effort to streamline inter-parachain communication ahead of the upcoming network upgrades.
