Why are people surprised that PUMP is dumping? What do they expect at 4b fully unlocked?
There’s no conflict, ILYA Polkadot people (but we do need to hash out parachains vs. L2s on Twitter Spaces fr fr)

i'm in a fight with @hubkotl 😏
- 12s finality for chains - 5 MB/s DA per core - 7k tps per core - chains can rent as many cores as they want - ONE stack for all chains - native interop between all other chains (12s bridging time) - monthly guaranteed blockspace/core subscriptions instead of fighting over every…
An L2 that changes from optimistic to ZK is like a guy that got lost on the high sea for 7 days tying a stone to his foot to end the misery faster. A curse that Ethereum has run into is illusion that an L2 has to choose between 2 evils: - wait 7 days for finalization…
Wait, optimistic rollups are switching to ZK now? 🫨 Looks like there's some L2 fact-checking to do! See ya there folks 🔜
Why choose @Polkadot Rollup over L2s? By choosing Polkadot Rollup: . For 1.000.000 TX, your business saves $15,000 per day. . In 1 year: $5,475,000 cost savings --> Average L2 FEE per transaction: $0.02 --> Polkadot Rollup FEE per transaction : $0.005 100+ major…

Polkadot⭕️ Last cycle, once @Polkadot broke out, it ran from $3.90 in November 2020 to $42 by February 2021.... A 10x in just 92 days By November 2021, DOT hit $55 with a market cap over $56 billion. 💥 But what was live back then? In short, nothing ❌ No parachains ❌ No XCM…
Wow~ Fee revenue from the @Polkadot ecosystem is looking strong lately! 📈 Over the past 30 days: 🥉@EnterTheMythos ranked 3rd globally among L2s with $1.4M in fees — down 12.6%, but still ahead of OP, Immutable, and more. 🟢@Bifrost showed impressive growth, up 25.5% with…
Visualization of how the Polkadot Treasury spent in Q2
This is how DOT flowed through the Polkadot Treasury in Q2, as per the @alice_und_bob report (which I encourage all DAO members to read, you can find it in the Polkadot Forum). Key takeaways: → Bounties & Collectives handled 25 % (~ $7 M) of Q2 spend (up from 19 %). This will…
