If you don't know yet, PolkaWorld has summarized 8 key points from this conversation for you!
1. Fellowship will optimize the Polkadot SDK upgrade mechanism.
Every SDK release makes developers 'wail'? Fellowship is rewriting the entire process logic so that parachain upgrades are no longer a nightmare.
2. Elastic scaling: Everything is ready, just one push of the start button away!
The anti-attack functionality is stable, and the runtime function module can be activated through the OpenGov governance process. After this, it is expected that the Polkadot mainnet launch will only require 20 hours of deployment.
Polkadot's 'cloud capabilities' are about to be fully activated!
3. NOMT will connect to Polkadot, with performance improvements of up to 10 times.
To better adapt to Substrate, the modifications to NOMT itself are almost done, and we will soon begin working on the integration at the Substrate level.
An MVP will be released by the end of the year, completely revolutionizing consensus performance and scalability bottlenecks.
4. The 500ms block production mechanism is nearing completion, BastiBlocks is coming!
Achieved a model that decouples block rate from resource allocation (number of cores):
- Block production speed can be customized (e.g., 500ms)
- Resource usage will be expanded by increasing cores.
The system can intelligently allocate tasks based on the number of cores.
Basti hopes to launch an MVP soon, deployed on the Westend testnet for everyone to try~
5. Big news! @Polkadot Hub will support PVM + EVM dual-stack contract architecture 👀
In the future, developers can choose to deploy Solidity contracts as PVM bytecode or EVM bytecode, providing more freedom and compatibility!
6. Paseo migration is scheduled for July 28, Polkadot mainnet may be delayed until October 🫢
Due to the integration of some partners not being ready, we are not very keen to go live before they are prepared, which is also not beneficial for us. This timeline is expected to be delayed by at least a month, but the exact progress is still uncertain, for reference only.
Additionally, developers are encouraged to experience contract features on Kusama. The entire process is very smooth, and it is definitely worth trying.
7. The next round of TPS stress testing may utilize 46 cores, with 300,000 TPS expected 🕶️
Will use double the cores compared to the last spamming test. However, the team is currently more focused on low latency and block confirmation, waiting for the optimal testing window, and may complete another spamming test this year!
8. BLS Beefy restart, @hyperbridge's key component for true decentralization is about to go live.
Compared to ECDSA + zk, BLS native signatures on-chain are more efficient, with zero extra overhead, supporting the fastest and safest cross-chain bridges.
