AFTER 5 YEARS: PARACHAINS ARE NOW LIVE ON POLKADOT!



The first parachains to rent a place on the main Polkadot network are Moonbeam, Parallel Finance, Astar and Clover. Polkadot has announced the launch of the first Parachains, a series of individual blockchains that will run in parallel within its ecosystem.

Polkadot's first batch of Parachains

According to the official announcement , the slots for the first parachains will be allocated to different blockchain projects built on the Polkadot network and focused on different niches. These include decentralized finance (DeFi), cryptocurrency investments and lending, and smart contracting.

The first parachains to rent a place on Polkadot's Relay Chain for up to 96 weeks are Acala, Moonbeam, Parallel Finance, Astar and Clover.

Polkadot believes that as the ecosystem grows and interest in the metaverse increases, more protocols will become apparent, leading to a shift from a single blockchain to interconnected chains.

The development comes five years after the vision of a heterogeneous multichain framework was published in the Polkadot whitepaper.

Polkadot's parachain is a key achievement in realizing the vision of Ethereum co-founder Dr. Gavin Wood from a networked blockchain framework.

The founder Dr. Wood on this:

No single blockchain design works optimally for every use case. Every chain involves tradeoffs that make it suitable for some uses and not for others. The Parachain Model was developed with the belief that the future of the Web 3 will include many different types of blockchains working together. 

He added that blockchains have to adopt the internet concept to meet different needs by offering a variety of services and he believes that parachains are capable of providing such a solution.

Polkadot will be allocating 100 parachain slots

In the coming months, Polkadot will be awarding 100 parachain slots in batches to various blockchain projects that are being set up in its network.

While the first batch of Parachain slots was awarded through an auction process, Polkadot said it won't provide all slots through a similar process.

However, Polkadot has started preparations for the second lot of the Parachain auction, which will start on December 23, 2021 and will comprise a total of six auctions.

According to Polkadot, the six winning projects will join the company's main network on March 11, 2022.

Parachains already on Polkadot's Kusama

It is worth noting that the Parachains are already running successfully on Polkadot's Canary Network Kusama, where 13 slots have been allocated so far.

KILT Protocol won the sixth Parachain slot, while Composable Finance was declared the winner of the twelfth Parachain auction on Kusama.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
