Polkadot Price Prediction: The Moonbeam ecosystem is growing

 


Polkadot price has not been left behind in the ongoing cryptocurrency sell-off. The DOT token is trading at $17.15, which is about 68% down from its peak in November of last year. It is also close to its lowest level since August 2021.


Why the DOT price crashed

Polkadot is a leading blockchain project created by Anthony Wood, a computer scientist. The network is intended to be the ideal platform for developers in Web 3.0 and other decentralized projects.


Polkadot uses several key technologies to differentiate itself from other projects. For example, it uses a relay chain technology responsible for security, cross-chain interoperability, and consensus.


Polkadot also uses parachains, which are independent blockchains that can have their own tokens and operations. Also, it has parathreads and bridges.


The DOT price has struggled in recent months as investors worry about rising inflation and the general move to high interest rates. The Federal Reserve is expected to start raising interest rates this week. This also explains why other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have all retreated.


The other reason is that investors are worried about Polkadot's ecosystem after the successful parachain auctions in 2021. Overall, the auctions raised billions of dollars. For example, Acala raised 32.5 million DOTs worth over $1.25 billion.


There are concerns about the overall growth of these ecosystems. On Friday, Moonbeam announced that it has seen remarkable growth two months after launch. It has processed over 3 million transactions while staking over 92 million of its tokens.


Several projects have already been created using the network. Some of them include Bitcoin Suisse, Curve Finance, Solarbeam, and Nova Wallet, among others. Still, it's still too early to predict whether Moonbeam and other Polkadot projects will be successful.


Polkadot Price Prediction



The daily chart shows that the DOT price has been in a bearish trend for the past few months. A closer look shows that it has stayed below the 25-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMA) for a while. This is a signal that the bears are still in control.


At the same time, polkadot price has moved below the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at the neutral 50 level.


Hence, the path of least resistance for the coin is to the downside, with the next key level at $14.20.

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...
