Polkadot (DOT) has recovered from substantial losses in early June but has not yet reclaimed its April high of $7. DOT's price action has been constricting within the $5.0 - $5.21 range since 23 June and unless Bitcoin gives a clear direction, DOT's short-term range bound could persist. Open Interest (OI) rate fluctuations below $140 million have been marked by DOT's fluctuations above $5.0.

June 27 (Cointime) - Both Cosmos and Polkadot have seen significant growth in development activity, with an increase in active developers on both protocols. However, social engagements and sentiment have declined for both. Despite this, stakers remain optimistic, with a significant growth in the number of stakers for CosmosHub in the last month. Polkadot has also experienced growth in activity and revenue, with a surge in daily active users.

June 20 (Cointime) - Polkadot's Open Interest has decreased, indicating a possible trend reversal. Despite high development activity and network activity, DOT's 24-hour chart showed a decline. Polkadot ranks second to Ethereum in terms of weekly code commits, according to Polkadot Insider.

Polkadot is proposing to increase the number of validators on its network in order to address declining activity and revenue. Despite these challenges, the network's real yield index remains strong and has attracted increased stakers. The proposed increase in validators is a carefully considered measure that is expected to enhance the network's governance structure without compromising security. However, Polkadot has encountered difficulties on the social front, with a decline in social activity and engagement, as well as a drop in the price and trading volume of DOT tokens.
