Every week we provide insights into popular assets and hot topics in crypto, so you can easily learn more about the crypto market in bite-sized pieces.
In this Crypto in Focus we take a closer look at Polkadot.
Still thinking Polkadot is just another "dead chain" from 2021? Think again! Polkadot 2.0 is launching in Q1 2025, and it's bringing speed, scalability, and true decentralisation like never before. Let's break it down—no PhD in blockchain required! 😄
So, what's Polkadot 2.0?
- Agile coretime – projects can use extra power on demand.
- Asynchronous backing – blocks 2× faster, 8–12× more transactions.
- Elastic scaling – more power = more speed.
Why should you care?
- Better UX/UI & stronger security
- Lower fees & zero bottlenecks
- Real decentralisation
Big numbers, big moves! 📈
- 13.2M unique accounts (2× growth in 2024!)
- 39.6M transactions per month (+200% in 2024!)
- DOT inflation dropping – from 10% to 7.59% (2024!) → 6% by 2030.
Oh, and for those still calling Polkadot a “dead chain”—it ranks #3 in full-time Web3 developers, right after Ethereum and Solana. 😉 And let’s not forget major partnerships like FIFA Rivals, Pudgy Party, and Indonesia’s 100M users onboarding to Web3. 2025 roadmap? It’s more like a highway!
