Polkadot 1.0 laid the foundation
→ Scalable L1, built-in compatibility, and shared security.
2025 is Polkadot 2.0
→ Scaling the network for every use case and unlocking new tools for both developers and users.
Last year, Parity pushed these boundaries with Async Backing, Agile Coretime, and much more.
Here 🗝️ are the key updates:
Solidity contracts on AssetHub → Simplified infrastructure for deploying Solidity contracts on Polkadot.
Polkadot virtual machine → Seamless execution of Ethereum code on Polkadot.
Elastic scaling → Dynamic scaling of bandwidth, no bottlenecks.
XCM v5 → Improved predictability of costs + asset transfer with better UX for developers.
Unified address format → One address prefix for the entire ecosystem — better UX and fewer errors.
Fast unstaking → Unstaking DOT in just 2 days with low network activity.
Omni Node → Simplified toolkit for building custom blockchains.
DOT as a universal fee token → Proposed use of DOT as gas across all chains.
SAFROLE → Anonymous validators + better chain security.
JAM SDK → Efficiency + flexibility for new services built on Polkadot.
