A look at why candle auctions are the most suitable form for blockchain auctions, as seen in recent research done at the Web3 Foundation.

With the increase in the number of accounts nominating on Polkadot and Kusama, we have seen some limitations of the current staking parameters. In order to prevent issues from occurring when these limits are reached, some restrictions are being added to the staking system on both networks.

The first Kusama parachain slot auction has ended and the first parachains have successfully connected to the Kusama Relay Chain, delivering the last piece of core functionality outlined in the Polkadot whitepaper: purpose-built, interoperable parachains.

The first real-world functional parachain Statemine, began processing permissionless transactions after an on-chain upgrade last week. After some smooth running over the weekend, the time is coming to move to the next stage: slot auctions.

The Polkadot network has a number of teams developing parachains, each optimized for its own domain. These parachains specialize in smart contracts, identity, DeFi, robotics, bridges, and more.

Despite being a tough year for pretty much everyone (with the possible exception of Amazon and takeaways), the Polkadot network and community is coming out of 2020 with the wind very much behind its sails. So now that we’ve reached the end of 2020, for better or worse, let’s have a roundup of what we achieved and what we’re planning to do over the course of 2021… I tend to start these roundups with a few statistics, and this year seems no exception. Development has continued apace, with the Rus

Kusama y Polkadot ahora premian a los curadores que ayudan a escalar las funciones de los consejos: ¡Únete a la fuerza que mueve a la comunidad hacia adelante!

Finalmente ocurrió: ¡Los tokens de Polkadot y Kusama están integrados en Gitcoin! Gitcoin ha integrado los tokens de Polkadot y Kusama (DOT y KSM) en su stack tecnológico, convirtiéndonos en una de las primeras integraciones completas fuera del ecosistema Ethereum. Este es otro hito en nuestro "año para recordar" en el universo Polkadot: junto con un lanzamiento, redenominación, transferencias de tokens y una gran cantidad de proyectos impresionantes que se unen a nuestra comunidad, entre otra

The new Bounty Extension on Polkadot and Kusama allows curators to autonomously allocate Treasury funds to projects that bring value to the ecosystem.

DOT and KSM are now integrated on Gitcoin. To celebrate, we created Hello World! by Polkadot to bring you on a journey of Polkadot development discovery.

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 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 e
