Great progress being made by @Polkadot.
Read on to catch up.
From a full 2.0 launch to new DeFi features and even powering digital infra for entire countries.
Here’s the latest 👇🧵
2/ Polkadot 2.0 is Live
During May, @Polkadot officially rolled out 2.0.
Instead of parachain auctions, projects now buy blockspace in a “coretime marketplace.”
This is cheaper, more flexible, and better for builders.
Overall, this makes cross‑chain messaging so much easier.
3/ Cross‑Chain DeFi
July 18 saw the launch of the DeFi Singularity - powered by Hyperbridge + Bifrost on @Polkadot.
DOT holders can now plug into Uniswap V4 across Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB, and Base.
APYs up to 29% for liquidity providers.
4/ Mandala Chain: Indonesia’s Digital Backbone
They recently announced: Mandala Chain, a new @Polkadot‑based network designed for Indonesia’s 280M+ citizens.
So for payments, governance, and services all running on-chain.
National‑scale adoption is already happening!
5/ GameFi
Remember the NFL Rivals game? The studio behind it, Mythical Games, left Ethereum for @Polkadot in 2025.
They’re building a “Game Superchain” with the integration of Unity too, making Polkadot a serious contender in Web3 gaming.
6/ Treasury
@Polkadot’s treasury is sitting at $100M+
Q2 2025 saw $2.8M in stablecoins flow in - but also a $25M outflow in April.
Debates are rising on how to keep spending reasonable while funding growth at the same time.
@Polkadot 7/ Why It Matters
@Polkadot isn’t just adding things and hoping for the best, it’s actually evolving into a foundation for Web3.
DeFi, GameFi, and even national infrastructure are all running on one upgradable system.
A behemoth to keep an eye on
