🎉 We’re live!

Revive smart contracts have officially launched on @Polkadot.

EVM compatibility, PVM performance, shared infrastructure with native access to Polkadot features, now in production.

Full launch update here: https://t.co/gblHaLuI9e

[Polkadot Blockchain Academy @AcademyPolkadot]

We were honored to welcome @torstenmove, Director of Platform Engineering at @paritytech, to the Protocol Builders Program last Friday.

His lecture gave our students the opportunity to learn directly from those building the future.💡🎓

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

@Vortex_Fi Pretty impressive month over month growth!

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

@polkadotlatino @Polkadot @KarimJDDA Good find.

@Real_Dennis_S_F @Polkadot Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear!

Nine years ago I wrote a cryptographic library in WebAssembly completely by hand, including Ed25519, SHA512, XSalsa20, Poly1305: https://t.co/ZA2Wxy28sh

I just realized today that it has been cited in academic research: https://t.co/XS4quvmjrv

Nice!

Quick update: the Polkadot upgrade will take place one week later, on the 27th of January. We decided to bundle this upgrade with a block time reduction to 2 seconds.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

After months of intense work, our @Polkadot smart contract platform "Revive" is entering its final release phase.

We’re excited to share a detailed status update and concrete release dates here: https://t.co/4q2RRD0LnO

This marks the beginning of a new era for @Polkadot.

Read more about its philosophy about human-centric technology and products that belong to people instead of corporations.

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

Polkadot’s new website is live.

It's a simpler, more human introduction to a complex system.

The last decade built the protocol; that work continues. In the decade ahead, the focus shifts to the products and experiences built on top of it.

This is v0. It will evolve as products emerge.

@alice_und_bob Thanks for testing it. We are actively improving the docs and onboarding flow before launch, and feedback like this helps us remove the remaining rough spots.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

The recording of my @Polkadotsub0 talk is live. It’s a straight explanation of @Polkadot Hub and our novel execution layer "Revive": what we built, why it matters, and how it reshapes the developer experience. If you’re building on Polkadot, watch this.

Un résumé de ce que nous avons compilé pour vous cette semaine à Sub0 Symbiosis.
Parmi les nombreux conférenciers : @gavofyork (3 talks), @torstenmove (@paritytech), @Mick_Republik (@MandalaChain ), @seunlanlege (@hyperbridge) et bien d’autres.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

This month at the @StakingSummit in Buenos Aires I presented how @Polkadot Hub will remove many boundaries of yield strategies today and will unlock new DeFi use cases.

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

Polkadot is removing the ceilings that have limited yield protocols for a decade.

In this @StakingSummit presentation, Torsten from @paritytech shows how Polkadot Hub unifies staking, assets, and high-compute smart contracts, enabling strategies EVM-only chains simply can’t support.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

Great summary about our smart contract platform for @Polkadot.

[Parity Technologies @paritytech]

👩‍💻 Update on Smart Contracts on Polkadot Hub - August 2025

Polkadot’s smart contract platform is nearing launch.
Both PVM & EVM backends go live:

1⃣ Kusama → Oct
2⃣Polkadot → Dec

Here’s what’s ready & what’s next 🧵

Just gave a talk at @Web3summit in the legendary Funkhaus on smart contract VMs, the hidden engines of web3. Recording here: https://t.co/9BFhX4dbX0

Grateful for the all the amzing conversations and wonderful people at this conference.

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

@chfast We’re building Ethereum-compatible smart contracts on @Polkadot, with LLVM and RISC-V, everything you just listed. Your experience looks very relevant. Would be fantastic to connect and chat. Please DM!

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

@johnwastaken @KarimJDDA Amazing! Congrats and let's goooo!

[Torsten Stüber @torstenmove]

Thrilled to be speaking at Web3 Summit this year! I’ll be diving into the hidden engines of Web3, smart contract virtual machines, and how new designs like PolkaVM are pushing their limits.

[Web3 Summit @Web3summit]

We’re pleased to welcome @torstenmove, smart contracts lead at Parity Technologies.
