If you inform about the news, then attach a link to what you refer to.
Here binance reports that Distribution of the First Batch of Rewards for Polkadot Slot Auction Postponed.
In a statement they say that It is expected that all voting rewards will be distributed around 2022-02-16 (UTC). A further announcement will be posted when the reward distribution is complete.

There is some news from Paralel.fi. So, DOT contributions made to batch 1 Polkadot crowdloans that didn’t win a slot via Binance or Kraken will get a 25% $PARA bonus for "recontributing".

Users get 25% extra $PARA rewards from Parallel.Fi until Dec.23 00:00 UTC.

I am bullish on Polkadot's parachain auctions. The first batch of auctions went well and a lot of DOT collected is good enough. Winners are also quality of course.

I have tried to contribute also to the Acala network by using the Parallel Finance crowd loan platform. As Acala Network won, my choice went well. Another thing is Binance also offers para chain auctions in which I participated and contributed to some projects.

I love joining on parachain auctions because if the project is lost, your DOT/KUSAMA will automatically send back to your wallet.

Christmas comes early for crowdloan contributors: 30%+ increase in rewards

These added rewards come on top of the incentives we have shared before including:
2.5% bonus for contributing through our crowdloan partner — Parallel Finance’s — referral link
5% bonus to those who previously contributed KSM and stablecoins to the Picasso Crowdloan
20% bonus for those who refer a total of 1000 DOT using our referral codes

The timing for this 30% increase in rewards aligns perfectly with the Composable crowdloan having recently reached the milestone of over 3 million DOT staked.
If we pass the 4 million DOT staked mark, we will add an additional 2% of total LAYR supply to crowdloan contributors.

It doesn’t stop there, once we pass the 5 million DOT staked mark, we will add another 2% of total LAYR supply on top of that!
Initially, 12% of the 100,000,000 total LAYR token supply was to be distributed to crowdloan contributors. With the two extra 2% increases unlocked as we pass million DOT milestones, it means we will be increasing our total LAYR supply distributed to crowdloan supporters to 16% — which makes up our 33.33% increase in rewards.

Most of people not believed in this polkadot.But it's not a good one. It's best coin from my knowledge. People should do background verification for the project. Blind investment will not work at anytime. Sometimes it will get all your long term investment. Investment on good coin to get good profit.

when you counting days, you should be aware when something was started, and what were the conditions on the market then
Ethereum is by far the biggest ecosystem at the moment, and Polkadot has to work hard and enlarge community to get where Ethereum is at the moment

a lot of promises for Polkadot, but there is no clear progress so far, I hope they will deliver better than Cardano in the end, which provided semi-smart contracts

I found some even more interesting statistics. The Polcadot ecosystem will get much better in 2022.

Polkadot Ecosystem Overview

"Key Takeaways

Polkadot’s first 11 parachains are live.
The first 11 parachains bonded 126 million DOT (11% of the total supply; worth $2.1 billion) for the two year lease periods.
Each parachain brings unique functionality and use-cases to the ecosystem.
The next major technical task is the buildout of the Cross-Consensus Message Format (XCM)."

[RussianEnglishTranslation]

I never liked the idea of Polkadot because there are a limited number of parachains and they have to pay to be on the network. Other projects like Octopus Network have appchains and you don't have to pay for a slot.

I should add that appchains are necessary because some apps require high tps, which cannot be achieved on most blockchains. If a blockchain has high tps, like the internet computer, and is scalable, appchains are not required.

Polkadot to scrap its 'Council' body in new governance system
"The Polkadot team said that the so-called Council, a centralized body of executives, had exclusive decision-making power.
In future, Polkadot will remove its Council and replace it with “referendum,” its public voting system."
