Polkadot [DOT] Ecosystem’s Weekly Digest and Everything Latest

Polkadot [DOT] recently published the latest edition of its weekly digest, mentioning all the notable developments that happened in the ecosystem in the last seven days. 

The weekly digest first mentioned the approval and implementation of Referendum 96, which resulted in the Polkadot runtime being updated to version 9340.

With this, the maximum number of nominators receiving rewards per validator increased from 256 to 512. The third version of Polkadot’s XCM has been merged after 15 months of work. This enables bridges, cross-chain locking, exchanges, NFTs, conditionals, context-tracking, and more.

Moreover, Polkadot 0.9.37 was released during the last week with medium upgrade priority, and DOT remained the second largest network in terms of developer count.

    As the (northern hemisphere) nights have drawn in and soma.fm’s Christmas Lounge finds its rightful place on my household radio, we once again find ourselves at the time of the year where I write my annual diary entry on behalf of Polkadot. With Covid now largely consigned to the collective memory of a generation, we see a global return to normalcy and resurgence of (in-person) events with it. Conflict and AI present some of the most prominent themes of the news cycle this year with some of the more inquisitive wondering how, along with blockchain, the world might be changed with them. This year it is also a special anniversary for me; as I write this, exactly 10 years ago I wrote the first lines of crypto-economic code in my life. So, what did 2023 bring?
