How the next DeFi powerhouse Polkadot is changing the face of ‘IPOs’BTC $10,659 (-0.4%) • ETH $340 (-1.9%) • XRP $0.24 (-0.9%)
Polkadot, the interoperability and Web3 interface blockchain platform, is bringing a new type of token issuance via an “Initial Parachain Offering” (IPO), it said in a release shared with CryptoSlate. An open-source project founded by the Web3 Foundation, Polkadot is built and maintained by five teams commissioned by the foundation. Its DOT token serves three functions — governance, staking abilities, and bonding to “parachains” — and helps power use cases for the blockchain project. Parachains are similar to Ethereum’s shards. They spread transactions across multiple nodes and allow for a faster and more-scalable network. However, the slots for such Parachains are limited, with Polkadot intending to auction them off in unpermissioned candle auctions. In the mid-term (over the next few years), only about 100 parachains slots are available for teams and developers, which creates a huge gap between market demand and supply. This is where the Initial Parachain Offering comes in. 📈 Trending … DeFi Tokens • Oracle Tokens • Biggest Gainers • Stablecoins More news ⏬Expanding Bitcoin’s DeFi: RSK & RIF integrate DAIThe RSK Infrastructure Framework (RIF) development team has now successfully used the RSK-Ethereum token interoperability bridge to expand DeFi capability on the RSK network.
