Gavin Wood proposed to minimize the relay chain, with identity, staking, and governance systems migrating to the system's parachain first

ChainCatcher message, Gavin Wood and Joe Petrowski from the Web3 Foundation initiated RFC-32, proposing to migrate the logic of multiple subsystems from the relay chain to "system parachains." These "system chains" will form the entire Polkadot network alongside the relay chain. If the state transitions of the relay chain can occur on the parachains, it will free up some resources; the portion of validator resources originally used for relay chain state transitions can be repurposed, thus providing more core time for the network, i.e., more block space. It is reported that the identity, staking, and governance systems will be the first to migrate to the system parachains.
