Polkadot Overtakes Bitcoin Cash in First Year of Activity

2021-1-1 15:22

Polkadot’s DOT token is now the sixth-largest cryptocurrency concerning market capitalization, leaving payment-based cryptocurrency Bitcoin Cash in the dust.

 To mark the occasion, Polkadot’s co-founder Gavin Wood announced a roadmap for next year.

Polkadot Outpaces BCH in First Year

Wood published a network update with renewed goals for 2021. Wood wrote: 

“Polkadot is now the 2nd most active DeFi ecosystem after Ethereum.”

Despite the frequent comparisons to the number two blockchain, Polkadot is rather a complement to Ethereum, improving its scalability. It is an ecosystem that allows for asset transfer across other blockchains. The project’s interoperability efforts are focused around Ethereum, but there are plans to include all future platforms. 

The smart contract capability of Ethereum on Substrate, Polkadot ecosystem’s development platform, is expected to roll out sometime in Q1 or Q2 of 2021.

Gavin wrote that the coming year is important for the development of the protocol. The ecosystem will bring together all the individual features like parachains and lease them to the project developers looking to build applications on these parachains.

The project’s treasury will continue to issue developer grants using nearly 10.4 million DOT (worth $85 million). The network is currently secured by 63% of the DOT holders. 

Polkadot’s native token DOT is gaining momentum alongside the rise in Ethereum’s price. 

Alt season being replaced by $dot season.

That is all!
