Polkadot Investors Can Expect Marvels in 2023 Only if DOT Can Cross These Hurdles

  • Polkadot’s market cap witnessed a massive surge in the last two days 
  • DOT’s short-term outlook starts shifting in favor of the bulls, but a rally remains at bay

The Polkadot network seems to be concluding November on an interesting note courtesy of its Sub0 conference. The network released an update highlighting some developments that may lay the foundation for its 2023 progress.

Notably, Polkadot intends to focus heavily on smart contract development through Substrate. This underscores the network’s intention to facilitate more utility. The network also intends to pursue a deeper focus in the NFT segment. The latter was among the key growth drivers for many top blockchain networks.

Unfortunately, the network’s native cryptocurrency, DOT, continued to seek more downside despite the healthy development activity. This was because it remained heavily influenced by the bearish market conditions in the last six months.

  • State of Polkadot Q4 2023

    Polkadot (DOT) is a distributed blockchain computing platform that acts as a base layer for other sovereign blockchains, called parachains, for validation and shared security. Polkadot was built using Substrate, a blockchain developmental framework. Furthermore, Polkadot’s base layer is known as the Relay Chain, which utilizes a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism, and its state machine is compiled to WebAssembly (Wasm).
  • Game Theory and Consumer Crypto

    One question that I often get when discussing consumer app ideas leveraging crypto is “does this really have to be in web3”? This often leads to an exposition on how building a web2 counterpart would be substantially difficult or simply not work. The intention of this post is to provide a comprehensive analysis on game theory and its applications in web3. Game theory is a more generalized approach and covers governance, token models, decentralization et al. I believe this new framework can be leveraged to build powerful applications. The right incentives can propel the society in a good direction.
