2025 product roadmap just dropped! We promise it was worth the wait.
It's been a defining year on Moonbeam & @MoonriverNW — cutting friction for devs & the community.
Up next: decentralized optimized storage, native asset flows, liquidity, governance for @Polkadot and more 🧵⬇️
DOT Inflation. Why? What is it? Where's it headed?
Polkadot initially had a constant inflation rate = 10%
But, the community decided to decrease it.
Here's how it happened 🧵👇
Gray Paper version 0.6.0 is released, signalling the end of 0.5 series and feature-completion! With the exception of gas-pricing, PVM is now at final candidate stage.
GP 0.6 series will be formatting and editing only. 0.7 and 0.8 will be any important tweaks or optimisations brought on through service-prototyping and Toaster-testing. 0.9 will be auditing fixes only. @polkadot #jam

First Microsoft, now Amazon.
Apple is next...then every single boardroom.
Loving the work of the smoldot, PAPI, Substrate Connect and Kheopswap teams - a match made in heaven. Truly slick, pure light-client effortlessly cross-chain Web3 experience, only on @Polkadot.
[Developing] Over 100 million DOT in support to prevent an attacker from capturing user owned DOT. 😲
We are almost there! We only need a few more million DOT.
Every vote counts! Please support ref 1323 (ABSTAIN) is also okay https://t.co/hA07MkbrCN
What sets @Polkadot's 100k+ Transactions-per-Second "Spammening" benchmark from today apart is that it was on mainnet, on a globally distributed set of validators. This is the real, live capability of the network that exists today, as measured in production.
