Writing History: The First Teams Submit Their Proposal to the Polkadot Treasury

To make sure the teams building on Polkadot have all the support they need, it is paramount that they understand the funding alternatives available. One good funding option is the Polkadot Treasury, which is already supporting a wide range of projects.

Swisscom Blockchain to develop Kubernetes Operator for Kusama and Polkadot

Swisscom Blockchain AG has received a Wave 5 grant from Web3 Foundation to develop a Kubernetes Operator for sentry nodes and validators for both Kusama and Polkadot.

Kusama & Polkadot: ¿En qué consisten? Similitudes y diferencias

Kusama y Polkadot son redes independientes y autónomas construidas sobre bases de código muy similares, pero Kusama tiene parámetros de gobernanza más rápidos y menores barreras de entrada. Mientras que Kusama es más ágil y rápido, Polkadot es más conservador, dando prioridad a la estabilidad y la fiabilidad, con procesos de gobernanza y actualización más lentos y metódicos. Kusama es excelente para la experimentación audaz y el despliegue en las primeras etapas. Polkadot está diseñado para la ejecución estable de aplicaciones de alto valor y aversión al riesgo.

Gobernanza de Polkadot

Polkadot ofrece gobernanza transparente y descentralizada, permitiendo cambios sin bifurcaciones. Con consejos, comités y referendos públicos, el poder está en manos de los usuarios.

W3F inicia el lanzamiento: Polkadot cobra vida

- El lanzamiento tan esperado de Polkadot es el resultado de tres años de trabajo de desarrollo - Esto se basa en el éxito del lanzamiento previo de Kusama en 2019, la “canary network” de Polkadot

GRANDPA Equivocation and sysinfo Process Collection Results In Slashing on Kusama Network: a Post-Mortem.

Multiple bugs in code resulted in nodes dropping out from Kusama network and losing the database that stores which blocks they validated. Consequently, the same nodes double-signed those blocks on restart. The slashes caused by this issue have been reverted via Kusama Council motions.

Transferability and Redenomination Public Notice

Token transferability will be enabled today, exactly at block number 1,205,128. This will occur at approximately 16:40 UTC, though it is impossible to exactly calculate this time. This will not change the denomination of DOT (old) which still represents 10**12 Planck.

Denomination Day: Ecosystem Project Guidance

On August 21st at approximately 13:15 UTC (block number 1,248,328), the DOT token will undergo a redenomination from its original sale. ‘New DOT’ will be 100x smaller than ‘DOT (old)’.

Introducing Rococo: Polkadot’s Parachain Testnet

We reached a significant step towards implementing parachain functionality on Polkadot – we launched a new testnet specifically designed for parachains and their related technologies, dubbed Rococo. The Rococo testnet integrates Polkadot with Cumulus and HRMP.

The Results are in

With a turnout just shy of one third of the tokens, the recent Polkadot redenomination poll was a major result for stakeholder decision-making. This number is all the more impressive considering that both the Web3 Foundation and Parity Technologies abstained from the voting.
