@csaint02@one_frequency Most likely, the big check. They have a very good technical product and a strong engineering team developing great stuff on Polkadot.
@VitalikButerin@ElectricCapital I’m with you on that!
It is the same reason why Polkadot has been underrated since the beginning. Now, Ethereum is finally catching up to the ground Polkadot paved with parachains a few years back.
🚀 Snowbridge Launch on Polkadot! 🌉
We’re thrilled to announce Snowbridge is now live on Polkadot! This trustless bridge between Polkadot and Ethereum is a game-changer for interoperability in the ecosystem. 🌐✨
Today I am putting forward a proposal for the "Plaza": A batteries-included, scalable Polkadot System Chain.
This proposal aims to put a broader story and direction behind currently scattered efforts to add smart contracts and lower fees on Polkadot's AssetHub chain.
The new direction I propose is to focus on scaling out AssetHub to the maximum possible level for a single chain and making it a central hub for the ecosystem, complete with smart contracts, bridges, exchange, custodian, and staking integration.

Smoldot @Polkadot's light-client just hit 1.0.0 and it now outperforms RPC! And with the Connect browser extension, there's not even a few seconds sync time on page load. Here it's used by several pages and for several networks including Westmint. Yup - works for parachains, too!
I’m sick of hearing crypto confused with a heavily-marketed centralised, mismanaged exchange. FTX’s failure is far from a harbinger of crypto. Quite the opposite: it’s a concrete demonstration of the need for more, better decentralised, trust-free technology.

Calling a contract in a #parachain ;) @Polkadot
Thank you @pepyakin and Alexander Theisen for bringing some early versions of SEAL(frame-contract) to #Trick and #Rococo :)
Today is the day :)
We launched our first test network for @Polkadot#parachains, #Rococo. It comes with 3 default parachains attached #Tick, #Trick and #Track ;)

Polkadot is live!
“Polkadot allows every coder to also be a businessman. They just place an algorithmic service online and it's a self-sovereign, autonomous, economically strong business. The world, in some sense, belongs to coders.” –– @gavofyork

Latest benchmarks indicate @polkadotnetwork, even without parachains or multithreading, will still push a sustained rate in excess of 1,000 tx/s. With parachains and multithreading then maybe 1,000,000 tx/s, 100% secure, upgradable and decentralised.
@zmanian @Jam10o @izqui9 No. The EVM plus any other runtime module are part of your runtime's business logic. This logic is what is validated on Polkadot using this validation function.
@zmanian@izqui9 Yes, that is correct. But the code will be executed natively on your parachain/thread. It only executes a block validation function on Polkadot (relay-chain)
Unhappy with @meetup's recent price hike?
Gather is a decentralized, blockchain-based alternative that community members built on #Substrate.
