Polkadot - parachain auctions

[Orange89]

Well personally i had a good memory with These Parachain Auction i had get huge amount of returns in these projects like moon river with these Auction community are deploying a lot of Dot that's create it good marketCap The best things about these Auction that they're limited number of Projects that are being selected that will definitely create good hype of upcoming project they had their kusama Wallet also to stake the Dot and participate in all that auction

Polkadot 2022 Roundup
"At the time of writing, more than 200 teams have either launched or are building a purpose-built blockchain on Polkadot’s technology stack, recognizing that this model better suits their needs than a smart contract solution, and that Polkadot provides a shorter time to market and a lower cost for building one, as well as the upgradeability and interoperability needed for constant innovation.

Over 130 million DOT and nearly 300,000 KSM have been lent by the Polkadot community through crowdloans to support parachains’ auction bids, a massive show of confidence in the future of the Polkadot ecosystem."

Dot definitely has the backing of its community there is no doubt about that, but is it enough? That's the question they have to ask themselves. I am not saying that it would not be enough but we are not going to see it become something huge in the future neither.

The best thing to do would be making sure that you are going to end up with prepared portfolio. Like you could get some DOT but not too much that it would hurt you if it goes down, but good enough if it goes up 10x, which is usually like 10% of your portfolio at max, and more than 1% at minimum, that is usually a good level to be in. I do exactly that, 3% right now and quite happy about it.

After exactly 15 months in development, @polkadot XCM version 3 is merged. This enables bridges, cross-chain locking, exchanges, NFTs, conditionals, context-tracking and more.

Introduce XCM version 3 and remove XCM versions 0 and 1.

Polkadot continues to write articles about DOT being a utility token, not a security token They are very afraid of SEC
https://twitter.com/Web3foundation/status/1618550186166620161
@Polkadot's native token DOT is, and always has been, co-ordinating software. Following W3F's announcement on DOT morphing into a non-security, read the thread below to learn how DOT was able to morph, what Polkadot is, and the primary goals of the network.

Since the launch of the Polkadot Staking Dashboard and nomination pools, participation in native staking has skyrocketed. These additions transformed how to stake on Polkadot. DOT holders no longer have to rely on third-party, centralized staking services, instead, they can use a decentralized, non-custodial, and intuitive staking platform. What’s more, nomination pools offer on-chain pooling of staked DOT, lowering the minimum staking amount to 1 DOT, while the users remain in full control of their assets and keys.

Introducing the Polkadot Developer Heroes Program
"Polkadot is uniting a growing ecosystem around the shared mission of building a better web, and in the past few years has attracted a vibrant community of developers who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in Web3. Building upon this momentum is the new Polkadot Developer Heroes Program.

This program aims to give more power to Polkadot developers and unlock their potential, to ask for and provide more help while improving their skills, to grow and evolve in their career and passion and to build an even stronger community."

Polkadot is one project I will say do disappoint a lot of people, it has failed to live up to expectations, with all the big names behind the project I expected this to be a real competitor in the space, and to my surprise with all the talk of centralization around Binance Smart chain it is the most competitive of all these Ethereum killer and the team did not raise any fund from investors except that the platform has the blessing of CZ. Polkadot ecosystem is more or less a ghost town, it is difficult to name one project on it that is doing really well when compared to Binance chain, Avalanche, Tron, Polygon, Fantom etc I hope there is still more to come from the project

Now available: USDC on Polkadot Asset Hub
Polkadot USDC is now available for developers and users of the Polkadot network! Circle Account and Circle APIs make it easy to access Polkadot USDC and transfer to parachains in Polkadot via the XCM protocol.1

 

"About Polkadot and Asset Hub
Polkadot is a network of many sovereign blockchains, also known as parachains. Parachains operate in parallel of each other to allow for faster transactions while benefiting from Polkadot’s overall security and decentralization.

Polkadot Asset Hub is a common-good parachain designed for issuing, managing, and transferring digital assets across the Polkadot ecosystem.2 USDC is natively issued on Polkadot Asset Hub, which makes it easy to transfer to parachains via XCM.

Polkadot USDC is the official form of USDC for the Polkadot ecosystem, providing developers and users with access to a fully reserved, dollar-backed stablecoin that’s always redeemable 1:1 for US dollars."

https://www.theblock.co/post/252586/polkadot-eyes-support-for-1000-parachains-in-future
"The core developers at Polkadot are looking to expand the ecosystem’s current parachain limit of 100, aiming to eventually onboard 1,000 parachains in future with help from software updates.

"Asynchronous backing" is one such update to Polkadot’s parachain consensus protocol. The update is designed to halve the parachain block time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds and augment the block space for each block by 5-10 times.

"Asynchronous backing enables flexible scheduling for our future scaling work through elastic scaling and instantaneous coretime. We have a credible roadmap to get Polkadot to support 1,000 parachains and 1m+ transactions per second. The design is there — we know how to scale Polkadot for the indefinite future,” Parity Engineering Lead Sophia Gold said in a statement."

The article discusses the potential of creating a Polkadot mobile app as an onboarding tool for beginners in the crypto space. The app aims to simplify the Polkadot ecosystem and make it more accessible to non-crypto users. The proposed app would include functions such as digital identity, web3 feed, staking, and wallet and payments. The team behind the app has shared a design prototype and is seeking feedback from the Polkadot community. The app is intended to be a gateway to the Polkadot ecosystem and could potentially include features such as messaging, social features, and the ability to send and receive DOT and NFTs as gifts. The target audience for the app is non-crypto users and existing DOT holders. The article emphasizes the importance of ease of use and user-friendly design. |

Will it help them! I doubt as such initiatives have been launched by other competitors and I don't think it went as expected. I am not against the such initiatives, I don't see anything good happening. They came up with a brilliant idea when the launched polkadot but it has not been the same for the so called Ethereum killer.

You are right that the Polkadot ecosystem has fallen behind Ethereum due to some bad policies, but management is trying to correct the situation and cancel auctions. I've been talking about this for a long time. But Ethereum needs competitors in the market, so Polkadot and Cosmos have a chance at market share.

"The Week in Polkadot: Gavin Wood Unveils ‘Major Upgrade’ JAM at Token2049
The Web3 Foundation has a 10 million DOT prize pool to foster development of the JAM protocol, which aims to replace Polkadot's Relay Chain.
At the Token2049 conference in Dubai this week, Polkadot co-founder Gavin Wood introduced a graypaper outlining the Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM), billed as “a proposal for the future of Polkadot.”

In a “major revision,” the JAM protocol would replace Polkadot’s Relay Chain with a “more modular, minimalistic design,” building a permissionless object environment akin to Ethereum’s smart contract environment."
