Parachains Launch in Polkadot (DOT) Ecosystem
Thus, Polkadot, the rather unique blockchain platform created specifically to connect many systems into a single network, has been experiencing an increase in the number of new and successful parachains recently.
These parallel blockchains are adding functionalities and use cases to the Polkadot relay chain; hence, enhancing its dominance in the cryptocurrency market.
The parachain auctions mechanism that enables projects to bid for integration into the Polkadot ecosystem is a process that has attracted projects from various sectors of the industry, DeFi, NFTs, games, and many others. This has not only maintained only the best quality of projects to get slots on parachain but also attracting lot of interested and eager participants from the Polkadot ecosystem.
With new parachains being launched consistently, the functionality as well as the use case of the DOT token increases. DOT is required for performing activities regarding the governance and staking within the Polkadot network and as a critical component of parachain auctions and cross-chain transactions. This diversified commodity has helped create additional demand for DOT as well as interest from both the retail and institutional investors.
Now one of the important virtues of the Polkadot model of parachains is that it is possible to have many Mosaic projects but at the same time each of these projects will have its own blockchain, and at the same time it will be protected and connected to the main Polkadot network. Unlike other blockchain platforms, this approach helps to overcome the problem of scalability and process transactions and smart contacts more effectively and selectively.
These parachains have also started innovation across networks with projects investigating new possibilities with Polkadot’s connectors. This has resulted in emergence of such applications as new DeFi platforms, cross-chain NFT market places and others which could not have been deployed effectively on block chain isolated structures.
With the development of the Polkadot ecosystem, there is a problem of its further growth and decentralization. Among those of them are the group behind Polkadot, led by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, who has been researching upgrades to the network’s governance and scalability to make it more sustainable.
The above-discussed Polkadot parachain architecture has further inspired many other blockchain ventures where some of the platforms are now considering implementing a similar structure based on scalability and blockchain connection.
That is why, the observed trend towards the formation of multi-chain ecosystems may become characteristic for the development of the blockchain technology in the future, which implies the creation of an interconnected and effective decentralized web.
