9 in 10 people accept a privacy policy in under 10 seconds. Only 1 to 3% read it in full. 📖

Facebook's alone would take you around 50 minutes.
This creates a system where users supply the inputs while platforms capture most of the economic return.

@Web3foundation's research👇
The value of a typical US user's data is nearly $400k over a digital lifetime. Nearly all of it captured by someone other than the person who generated it.

So what does Polkadot do differently?

It starts with open-source technology and gives people the tools to decide what they reveal, to whom, and how.

Data ownership never leaves the user in the first place.

That is the opposite of how the current tech paradigm works, where you hand everything over and hope for the best.

Bots now generate more than half of all web traffic, and while AI agents become indistinguishable from people, most verification systems still ask the wrong question.

To prove you are a person, you are asked to prove which person you are. Human Web3 separates those two things.

At Parity, we are exploring how @Polkadot can support Proof of Personhood without turning identity into another centralized gatekeeper.

In this article, @maaaaadhoney explains why Proof of Personhood matters, the trade-offs, and the privacy-preserving infrastructure beginning to take shape.

Polkadot just leveled up.

Today's runtime upgrade marks the beginning of a faster, simpler, more usable network designed for real apps.

What changes for you?
→ Apps feel fast and fluid
→ Transactions confirm quicker
→ Builders can focus on products, not protocol engineering

No forks. No downtime. Pure on-chain execution.

@Polkadot just re-engineered itself mid-flight.

Huge congratulations to the team - this was a colossal success built on months of hard work 👏

Asset Hub Migration: Complete 🚀

Polkadot migrated:
• 1.63B DOT
• 1.5M accounts

I've been seeing a lot of reports about people not seeing their KSM on their @TrustWallet . Please rest assured that this is only a UI issue, and the Trust Wallet team is already aware of and working on it. Your KSM are still there, albeit on the Asset Hub; you can verify this via Subscan or any other block explorer. This is a result of the Asset Hub migration which occurred yesterday. For details, see https://t.co/P81YWvtnkt

⚠️Beware of fake accounts offering instructions for Kusama funds⚠️

You don't need to take any manual steps to recover your funds after the successful migration of Kusama Asset Hub. Beware of fake accounts offering instructions on how to “retrieve your Kusama funds”, as they are not affiliated with the migration team nor "Polkadot Admins." Remember, it is a decentralized network, we don’t have Admins.

[Polkadot Devs @PolkadotDevs]

The @kusamanetwork Asset Hub migration was a success! 🙌 In just 3h 13m 18s, all assets, pallets, accounts, and proxies were fully migrated, including 348 thousand accounts and 17 million KSM. 📊 Dive into the numbers: https://t.co/032ZXnAjns

Congratulations to the @paritytech Asset Hub Migration team for delivering a smooth migration 👏

[Polkadot Devs @PolkadotDevs]

🚧 Important Update for Ecosystem Developers 🚧

The @kusamanetwork Asset Hub Migration starts tomorrow, Oct 7, at approximately 11:59 AM UTC on block #30423691.

If your dapp interacts with KSM/DOT reserves, implement dynamic reserve discovery to maintain stable cross-chain transfers.

👏 Kudos to the @paritytech Asset Hub Migration team for making this landmark possible.

Today, the first-ever purchase on a secondary Coretime marketplace was made on @kusamanetwork 🚀

Our marketplace—with full UI support—is now officially live on Kusama. This is a big milestone for us.

We’re the first—and the only—team to deliver a secondary Coretime marketplace!

🚨 Action required: Important update for Parachains and Dapps in the ecosystem 🚨

Issues have been identified with certain pallet-xcm extrinsics that could result in assets being trapped after the upcoming Asset Hub Migration.

To prevent this, the SDK has already been patched to disable these problematic extrinsics.

We urge all Chains and Dapps to review this guide and take the necessary actions to ensure uninterrupted operation:

Calling all Polkadot developers! 🧑‍💻

We’re improving the developer onboarding & support experience and need your feedback. Your input will help shape how resources, tools & support are organized for builders.

💬 Take the short survey here: https://t.co/Jtw8JUV5Nm

Great to meet the @polkadot_brasil community at @blockchain_rio 🇧🇷♥️ Our panel had an insightful conversation on legacy systems and the Web2 ↔ Web3 transition. Loved the ideas and real-world use cases presented✨

[Parity Technologies @paritytech]

Happy Friday, builders! 🎉

Quick reminder that Parity is seriously levelling up @Polkadot infra in 2025🚀

From 2x faster transactions to pay-as-you-go blockspace, Polkadot 2.0 brings speed, flexibility & scale.

The future is modular, efficient, and here sooner than you think. 🛠️

Who would’ve thought I’d end up advocating for blockchain in Brazil 🇧🇷 ? Certainly not me! All the more reason I’m excited about this opportunity 🤠
On August 6th, I’ll be speaking at @blockchain_rio about future-proof technologies on the Crypto Stage, come see me at 5:30pm ✌️

and part of that is a new website i may have had a hand in - go check it out

smart contracts are live on Kusama. go do your worst. leave your mark. let your code fly free.
