Polkadot es un protocolo de última generación que conecta múltiples Blockchains especializadas en una red unificada. Diseñado como parte de una amplia visión de una red que devuelve el control a los individuos sobre los monopolios de Internet, Polkadot se basa en la promesa revolucionaria de las anteriores redes de Blockchain, ofreciendo diversas ventajas fundamentales por sobre las mismas. ¿Cuáles son esas ventajas? Polkadot permite a las redes de Blockchain: Escalar Las Blockchains sólo p

* 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 26 de mayo de 2020, Zug, Suiza - Web3 Foundation ha lanzado hoy la versión inicial de Polkadot, un protocolo fragmentado que permite que las redes de blockchain descentralizadas funcionen juntas, sin problemas y a escala. Polkadot da a las aplicaciones peer-to-peer, organizaciones, negocios, econo

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.

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)’.

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.

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.

A vote has been started that will alter the course of Polkadot and define the final denomination of its native DOT token. It affects all Polkadot stakeholders. If you have claimed your DOT on the mainnet, or you plan to, then you can — and should! — vote.

The use of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) in combination with the Substrate blockchain modular framework is providing new solutions to enable real-use applications on the next generation of the web.

Polkadot is designed to take back our digital sovereignty and agency from powerful third-parties, while also providing the foundation for new business models, services, organizations—and even entire societies and economies—to take shape and thrive into the future.

On-chain governance and autonomous enactment give the token holders agency, the vehicle to express their opinions and the guarantees about the impact that their expression has.

The new paper Overview of Polkadot and its Design Considerations expands on the white paper, presenting a comprehensive and updated description of Polkadot’s design components and subprotocols. Some of these are outlined here.

The genesis block of the Polkadot network was launched on May 26th. To celebrate, we have created the first builder’s bounty with over $6000 DAI to be won, split over three challenges.
