With the launch of Polkadot 2.0, the network has reached new levels of performance and scalability through the implementation of new technologies and features.
What's New in Polkadot 2.0
The Polkadot 2.0 upgrade has been approved with 100% support, and its implementation will begin on September 8. The key areas of focus include enhancing performance, scalability, and flexibility for developers and enterprises. New features allow for the construction of more efficient applications.
Key Technologies of the Upgrade
Polkadot 2.0 is built on three core technologies: Async Backing, Agile Coretime, and Elastic Scaling. These technologies are aimed at addressing key issues in blockchain performance and resource management. Async Backing enhances parachain capabilities by allowing blocks to be built on previous Relay Chain blocks, speeding up the process to six seconds. Elastic Scaling and Agile Coretime provide dynamic resource management and allow enterprises to lease computational power as needed.
Interoperability with Solana
Recently, Polkadot announced an exciting development: Solana code can now run natively within Polkadot without the use of bridges or wrappers. This project, called Lollipop, allows previously isolated chains to operate on a shared execution layer, opening new opportunities for developers.
The Polkadot 2.0 upgrade represents a significant leap forward for the network, providing high performance, flexibility, and integration capabilities with other blockchains. This opens new horizons for developers and users.
