Polkadot and Parachain Auctions - this is how the price of DOT could react



Polkadot started today with 5 parachains that have gone live and the auctions are continuing.

It has been a long way to merge different blockchains with the Polkadot network. This weekend it was a success with no less than 5 projects.

The five Parachains that went live this weekend are Acala, Astar, Clover, Moonbeam and Parallel Finance. These were selected after successful Parachain auctions. In total, the five projects raised nearly DOT 99 million worth approximately $ 2.4 billion during the auction period. The winning projects borrow their parachain slots, so to speak, which are valid for 96 weeks.

The award-winning projects focus on a range of use cases, including decentralized finance and credit operations. The idea behind parachains is that each individual network can support different usage profiles, all of which are connected to the Polkadot relay chain.

"The introduction of Parachains on Polkadot marks the culmination of the original vision outlined in the 2016 Polkadot whitepaper," the Polkadot team said in a statement. “The Polkadot Paper outlined the core functions of Polkadot and outlined the sharded multichain design of the network. The parachains are the last part of the core functionality that was outlined in the paper to be fully implemented. How Polkadot evolves from here will depend on the community of DOT owners who will approve all future upgrades through the network's on-chain governance system.

How could this affect the price of DOT?

The Parachain auctions are organized as follows: Anyone who believes in a project can support it and assign their DOT to this project as a so-called crowd loan. This means that these DOTs are bound for a very long time, more precisely 96 weeks, if the project prevails in the auctions. There will be a total of 100 different parachains, for which the auctions will take place one by one.

In the first 5 auctions, 99 million DOT have already been committed, which means that the freely available DOT are becoming less and less. If the demand remains the same, this results in an ever-higher price.

What else is in the pipeline?

As John Dantoni of The Block Research noted in a recent ecosystem map, there are more than 200 projects that focus on polkadot in 19 areas.

A number of additional Parachain auctions are currently live, which in the long term could boost the price of Polkadot positively. We are curious how the Polkadot project will develop in the future and are very bullish for the future.

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...
