👀 @Polkadot is quietly switching to a new “application engine.” 1/ For years, building on Polkadot meant dealing with this reality: - Contracts lived on one chain - Governance & staking on another - Assets & stablecoins on a third ➡️ Even simple workflows required cross-chain hops and async XCM messages. 2/ But now, @Polkadot Hub fixes this by bringing everything back into one place. Inside the Hub, you get a unified environment with: - Native assets & stablecoins - Governance & staking - Smart contracts (EVM + PVM) - And the new dual‑engine runtime: Revive 3/ Revive enables two key shifts: 1️⃣ EVM + PVM in the same address space (contracts can call each other seamlessly) 2️⃣ Contracts can directly access runtime features like staking, governance, assets, and XCM No more “Which chain should I deploy on?” Apps finally have a default home. 4/ 🔓 So what exactly does Hub + Revive unlock? Here are 3 concrete examples: 1️⃣ Governance‑aware smart contracts - Read governance state synchronously - …

What the @Polkadot Treasury Q3 Report really tells us and why it matters: 1️⃣ Treasury assets hit $114M — with an unprecedented $80M in pure liquidity This is healthier than most L1s. Polkadot can actually fund what it wants to fund. 2️⃣ 60% of spending is now in stablecoins The ecosystem is finally decoupling daily operations from DOT volatility — a major maturity signal. 3️⃣ The Treasury is shifting from “growth mode” to “operational discipline” R&D ($7.6M) was by far the largest investment, while marketing budgets cooled dramatically. Polkadot is behaving more like a long-term infrastructure provider, not a hype machine. 4️⃣ Departments (Bounties/Collectives) executed a record 36% of all spending This could mean governance specialization and efficiency… OR a worrying trend where low-quality spending quietly moves into less transparent executive bodies. Both interpretations deserve attention. 5️⃣ $8.5M injected directly into DeFi liquidity The Treasury is now one of the biggest liquidity provid

Reading this, I can’t help but agree — we’ve been treating digital infrastructure like a private product, when it’s already the backbone of public life. If the foundation of the global internet is controlled by a few companies, then it isn’t infrastructure — it’s dependency. That’s why the “Second Age” of Polkadot matters. It’s about rebuilding the digital base layer to be open, verifiable, and accountable to the people who rely on it — not a handful of platforms. Public infrastructure should actually be public.
