How will Polkadot unlock the DOT tokenomics by creating more demand for the DOT token? With the next evolution of Polkadot parachains - multi-core elastic scaling. Here is what it enables: Make your chain run faster, do more transactions and just pay for the extra cores (in DOT) when... you need them! Gavin Wood says that multi-core elastic scaling will unlock DOT tokenomics by increasing the DOT demand from parachains that want to pay more for better performance Currently, the main issue is that there are only 45 parachains, and only one core per parachain. "But there are chains out that would love to pay more money - more DOT - and have more cores to make their chain run faster. We know this because we are talking to them"show more

@Polkadot Makes total sense. If parachains can pay more $DOT to scale as needed, that creates real, dynamic demand for the token. Huge step for the ecosystem. 🔥 Is there an estimated date for when this will go live? @gavofyork @KevinWSHPod

@Polkadot everybody running to buy dot that's why dot is 32nd and falling. 🤡

Bryant1 year ago

@Polkadot As a builder or user, would you pay more DOT to scale your chain during peak demand?

@Polkadot Omg..this shit is still existing ! They should go to jail for what they did in last 4 years! Polkadot = just a slowly rugpull!

CRYPTOCYRUS 「 🖐️ ✦ 🌏 」.1 year ago

@Polkadot if the demand for performance rises, so does the demand for DOT. As @gavofyork said, “They want to pay more DOT… we just needed to give them a reason to.” Now they have one. 🔗⚡

@Polkadot Beyond elastic scaling, which allows a single parachain to utilize multiple cores for increased throughput. What is the primary factor driving more parachain adoption on Polkadot?

Savvy λ1 year ago

the idea of dynamic scaling and performance optimization is really exciting... especially for projects like Polkadot where parachains can now leverage multi-core elastic scaling. this could really change the game for how chains operate and scale, making $DOT even more essential.

@Polkadot Interesting, although there do not seem to be any bottlenecks currently impeding the growth of the current parachains.

PAVLIK1 year ago

@Polkadot if $dot used to be just a pass to the ecosystem, now it becomes a price for speed. this changes everything: each dapp decides for itself how much it costs to be faster

@Polkadot This is the kind of upgrade that turns DOT into real economic bandwidth!

Parachains ≠ L2s L2s extract value from Ethereum, whilst Parachains are the product of Polkadot. In Ethereum, L2s are add-ons that offload pressure, turning the L1 into a rollup host. But Polkadot’s whole proposition is parachains. They’re not bolted on - they’re core. Unlike Ethereum, Polkadot never used its L1 to host smart contracts directly. This isn’t a limitation - it's by design. The DOT that goes into Acala is still immediately transferable into Moonbeam - so the capital flows a lot easier between the L2 Different intent, different architecture. Gavin Wood explains 👇

🚨 HOT TOPIC: DOT Inflation (or issuance) Polkadot founder Gavin Wood sat down w/ Jay Chrawnna to unpack the future of DOT tokenomics. They covered: → Why inflation is the wrong word → What really gives a token value → Why validators should be paid in stablecoins → What % of staking rewards are sold? → Why Polkadot needs a capped issuance → How to decouple security from interest rates → And why fiscal discipline is long overdue A must-watch for anyone holding DOT or building in the ecosystem.

We’re nearing the launch of the Dot mobile app. This is an important expansion of the platform, bringing the same private inference infrastructure and model access currently available directly to mobile. The app will provide access to the core Dot ecosystem from a single mobile interface, including DotChat, model selection, image generation, video generation and other important platform capabilities. Mobile also gives us a significantly larger distribution surface and a more practical way for users to access Dot throughout the day. This means more accessibility, more usage and another major channel for inference demand. The same Dot platform, coming to your App Store/Google Play soon.

Polkadot ran a major stress test, Spammening, in December 2024 to prove its infra can handle extreme txn loads in a live environment with real economic stakes. The result was 143K TPS, using just 23% of the network’s capacity. But the elephant in the room—does anyone outside of Polkadot even care. TPS is a tricky metric, especially today. Polkadot is a heterogeneous sharded blockchain and was used to be referred as layer 0. Essentially designed to orchestrate multiple chains in parallel, not maximize base layer txns. Therefore fundamentally it isn’t built for single-chain TPS races, but for very high throughput across multiple chains. So Polkadot’s TPS doesn’t compare neatly to monolithic chains, and that led to it staying out of TPS-focused optics in the past. As a result, it’s often misunderstood or seen as slow by this metric. And today, Polkadot has shifted from a chain-centric approach to a blockspace-centric one. It’s no longer about chains but about blockspace and cores—operating much like your multi-core computer. Aka, a chain can eat multiple cores if it needs more throughput. This is called Elastic scaling. With JAM and Elastic scaling, blocks can actually be split into chunks and validated in parallel, allowing the network’s parallel processing to directly impact single-state throughput. Reminder that this Elastic scaling is already live on Kusama and will be coming to Polkadot next quarter. Now, Justin Bons and @0xBreadguy argue that any sharded system can claim millions of TPS, but that doesn’t mean anything as it doesn’t happen within a single state—not equivalent to atomic composability. So, for this time, I’m tossing it to the gigabrains. Do they have a point, or is there more to consider. Shawn Tabrizi Gavin Wood rphmeier

Polkadot daily transactions surge by 11,300%...?! According to Chainspect, transactions on Polkadot $DOT ripped by more than 100x in the space of a single day. With that said, Chainspect did disclaim that transactions were at just 8 before ripping to 986... What would it take to drive long-term high activity on one of the industry's longest-running blockchain networks?!

We do not believe a dot of the Quran. When we point out stories from there, we do so to enlighten Muslims and expose the deception in Islam. From the Quran, we could point out that there’s more to study about the Lord Jesus. I implore Muslims to listen to this and research more about the Lord Jesus outside the Quran.

Let us never forget this fundamental truth: The state has no source of money other than the money people earn themselves. If the state wishes to spend more, it can do so only by borrowing your savings or by taxing you more. And it is no good thinking that someone else will pay—that "someone else" is you. There is no such thing as public money, there is only taxpayers' money. Prosperity won't come by inventing more and more lavish public expenditure programs. You don't grow richer by ordering another chequebook from the bank. No nation ever grew more prosperous by taxing its citizens beyond their capacity to pay. We have a duty to make sure that every penny piece we raise in taxation is spent wisely and well.

There is insatiable demand for super-premium experiences. It doesn’t seem like there’s any real limit to what people will pay for something that feels singular. "Rich people are asking for more and more because they can get everything, so they want something even more special. In the Super Bowl, go to Tiffany's, get a blue football, get a lecture from Peyton Manning, walk on the field pregame and come out with a team. And for that I'm going to pay $300,000. In every category there's premiums and people pay crazy."

How do we make Australia more prosperous? How do we encourage people to build businesses, take risks and compete with the rest of the world? Our politicians and government are spending the money that comes from our work, our risk and our effort. So we should demand more from them. More innovation. More ambition. More bold decisions. As Australians, we should expect to have one of the highest standards of living in the world. Let’s demand this from the people who lead us.
