Once again @polkadot is recognised as the greenest protocol.
The crypto industry is leaning into the green energy movement. Through drastic programming overhauls and funding carbon offset projects, protocols are actively breaking down the stigma that crypto is harming the planet.

New ecosystem developer analysis by @ElectricCapital shows @Polkadot literally in a class of its own with clearly the stongest developer growth since launch of any Web3 protocol and by far the biggest dev community outside of Ethereum. medium.com/electric-capital/…

'We've taken measures in the design of Polkadot to ensure that it can be upgraded. If ten years from now there's some futuristic new technology that we hadn't even imagined back then, Polkadot can be upgraded to support that new type of technology.'-@rphmeier, Polkadot founder.

Two years ago I was given life to pave the way for @Polkadot. Since birth I have test-flown every upgrade and feature for my sensible cousin Polkadot, and still am today with the launch of parachains. Cheers to another flight around the sun and more parachains to come!

Polkadot is 1! The network's genesis block was produced 1 year ago today. Since then, Polkadot has upgraded from Proof of Authority to Nominated Proof of Stake, enabled governance features, removed Sudo, enabled token transfers, and redenominated. Up next, 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 has come to move to the next stage: slot auctions. bit.ly/2TdnirG

Kusama and Polkadot are soon launching their parachain auctions. Cross-chain composability and scalability have never been so important. How does an auction work for users? What does it mean for $DOT, $KSM price & circulating supply? Thread 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Parachains are launching on @kusamanetwork and @Polkadot later this year. This is kind of a big deal. It means that complex economic logic will come live on the largest network by value staked. But how is this actually going to play out and how can you get involved? A thread 👇🏻
