Promoting principles that foster true freedom, respect, and strength. I believe Polkadot and its Web3 technology can do their part to help make this vision.
@GianDavassi We need some wow factor when showing Polkadot to newbs. Some way to demonstrate Polkadot. I try and tell people about Dot, but it's hard to quickly explain or show what makes it special. The pieces are all there.
π¨ Polkadot Just Leveled Up π¨
You can now spend $DOT in the real world.
@NovaWalletApp, in partnership with Mastercard, Mercuryo, and Quicko, launched the first-ever Polkadot debit card π³
πΉ Load it with DOT
πΉ Pay in-store or online
πΉ Auto-converts to EUR at checkout
πΉ Accepted at 150M+ locations
πΉ Apple Pay & Google Pay ready
π Live now in Europe
π Expanding to Latin America and North America by EOY 2025
Are you paying attention????
This is adoption.
Polkadot βοΈ is going mainstream.
βI stopped playing FIFA.β
Not because I lost love for football.
But because the grind got boring.
The packs, the resets, the feeling of owning⦠nothing.
Then I stumbled across @FIFARivals and suddenly, I cared again. π§΅π
If a project wants to run on @Polkadot, it needs to purchase a core (also called coretime).
Polkadot cores? Coretime sales?
What exactly is that?
Here's a brief overview of the basics.
π§΅β¬οΈ
Elastic Scaling just hit Kusama. (soon @Polkadot)
Kusama rollups can now auto-scale compute power.
More throughput + lower latency to meet any demand or use case. Zero compromise on security or decentralization.
Millions of users? No prob.
Apps like @mythicalgames get access to more resources in case they top the charts for NFT sales.
How it works β Elastic Scaling lets rollups tap into Kusama's modular architecture and unlocks:
β faster block times (500ms)
β more bandwidth (12 MB/s)
β efficient resource allocation
Remember the Spammening? An early version of Elastic Scaling (on 23 Kusama cores) helped achieve 143K TPS in the wild.
This is the final piece of Polkadot 2.0, the culmination of Async Backing, Agile Coretime, and Elastic Scaling on Polkadot.
Expect chaos and build π¦
