1. Gavin Wood, in a recent livestream, wrote the first OpenGov proposal, hoping to help kickstart a large-scale user on-chain initiative! polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1783
2. The Polkadot v2.0.0 upgrade proposal #1777 has officially passed, with the three major modules (elastic scalability, core time, asynchronous support) launched in sync, and all technical preparations for smart contracts to run on the Polkadot mainnet completed! The era of 2.0 has fully set sail! x.com/polkaworld_pro
3. In addition, after #1777 passed, 19 pallets successfully migrated from the Polkadot relay chain to the Asset Hub chain in 8 hours and 39 minutes! mp.weixin.qq.com/s/7qDg598ni47v
4. Please note that after the migration to the Polkadot AssetHub, the current overall DOT staking yield across the network has temporarily shown abnormalities, with overall yields approximately 60% lower than expected. The repair plan has been submitted for on-chain voting by the Polkadot technical team! You can vote here: polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1785
After the repair is complete, the yield will automatically return to normal levels, and DOT users will not need to take any action; the final actual earnings will not decrease!
5. PolkaWorld released the Chinese version of Gavin Wood's latest interview last week. In this half-hour in-depth interview, he discussed the self-splitting of the 'philosopher and warrior', the 'mental cage' left by the industrial era, the true meaning of decentralization, and how Polkadot must establish its own economic strategy. (Gavin Wood: The era of relying solely on technical selling points is over, DOT must have real economic use!)
6. The latest data shows that over $200 million of USDC has migrated to Polkadot, mainly concentrated on the Asset Hub, laying a liquidity foundation for the upcoming era of smart contracts! x.com/polkaworld_pro
7. @Bifrost officially launches the DeFi 'Dividend Era' — protocol revenue will no longer flow into the treasury but will be 100% returned to the community! Through the new mechanism bbBNC (BuyBack BNC), users can earn returns based on the amount and duration of locked $vBNC, with 10% for buyback and destruction, and 90% as dividends for long-term holders, allowing believers to share in the growth dividends of the protocol. x.com/Bifrost/status
8. The first 5 teams of the Polkadot DeFi Builders Program have been announced! Joinn, SigilSafe, WinCoins, Koni Finance, and TidalX stood out from over 75 applications worldwide and will receive systematic acceleration mentoring from organizations like Velocity Labs over the next 12 weeks, together ushering in a new era of DeFi for the Polkadot Hub. x.com/Polkadot/statu
9. In addition to using HOLLAR stablecoin within the Polkadot ecosystem, Hydration is also integrating with Hyperbridge to bring HOLLAR outside the Polkadot ecosystem! x.com/polkaworld_pro
10. @pala_labs launches the OpenGov data analysis platform OpenShore! x.com/polkaworld_pro
11. @hyperbridge co-founder: Traditional cross-chain bridges are a disaster waiting to happen! When that time comes, HyperBridge will stand strong! mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ncwybVdnFpwn
12. @_snowbridge V2 officially launched! The Polkadot ↔ Ethereum cross-chain bridge has been fully upgraded: supporting cross-chain contract calls, with fees reduced to $0.5–$1, and transfer times shortened to 35 minutes, opening a new era for minimal trust interoperability.
