Polkadot, a significant contender in the crypto industry as an Ethereum rival, is witnessing steady growth. The ecosystem is drawing increased participation and developer activity, as revealed in a recent blog post by its team.

Governance and Community Engagement

The network's governance system, OpenGov, reported notable engagement in July. There were 1,134 unique voters involved in 118 referenda, showcasing the active role of DOT holders. The outcomes included 65 approvals, 29 rejections, 22 timeouts, and 2 cancellations.

Developer Activity and Contributions

July saw a rise in coretime sales on Kusama, despite a reduction in core prices to below 1 KSM. A total of 62 cores were sold to 7 unique addresses, reflecting continued interest in the network’s resource allocation capabilities.

Future Developments: Polkadot Mobile App

Anticipation builds for the Polkadot Mobile App, expected to debut in September 2024. The app promises features like onboarding without passwords, wallet funding with DOT or stablecoins, and the ability to make purchases at over 1 million stores, with staking functionality soon to follow.
