Polkadot’s fundamental shift

Slot auctions. Gone. Agile coretime, in.

What does this mean?

• Polkadot is, at the moment, producing and selling only large batches of pancakes for builders.

• It's now starting to offer single pancakes, pancake mix, eggs, flour, milk, salt – essentially, whatever builders need.

Why?

• Recognizing that not everyone wants to buy batches of 10K pancakes today.

• And soon, not only limiting itself to pancakes, but also will allow the making of crepes, cakes, pasta, and souffles. Guaranteeing Michelin-star restaurant service quality with;

• under a minute fast finality,
• ~ $3.3 billion worth staked DOT providing high economic shared security.
• And, imagine a marketplace where you can trade these ingredients between each other, depending on your necessity and performance boost, as NFTs. Here is your first novel use case for NFTs.

When?

• Launch on testnet by year-end. Kusama in Q1 and Polkadot mainnet in Q2 2024.

How to kickstart the momentum back?

• Leveraging ~ $343M worth fat treasury under the most dynamic and engaging on-chain governance today. Treasury is now warmly calling you for your proposals.

• $45M grants program by the W3F to stimulate activity and ecosystem growth in all areas.

With all these, Polkadot is moving towards becoming the most resilient network within its protocol development structure and on-chain governance.

"Show us you're real, build something; it doesn't need to be perfect, a prototype, a demo on stage, show us it works, show us you have seriousness behind it, because crypto needs more than hype and buzzwords - it needs real builders and useful products" [1] - Gav.
