Polkadot, a blockchainblockchain that connects other blockchains together into a single network, is now live. The launch of the network has been about four years in the making—at points placing its creators in conflict with the EthereumEthereum network they helped nurture.
Polkadot is live!
“Polkadot allows every coder to also be a businessman. They just place an algorithmic service online and it's a self-sovereign, autonomous, economically strong business. The world, in some sense, belongs to coders.” –– @gavofyorkhttps://t.co/pR0m6D3agw

Polkadot is a proof-of-stakeproof-of-stake network that uses sharding to tackle thorny scalability issues and enable increased network usage. According to a press release from the Web3 Foundation, which launched the network today, its sharding capability works hand in hand with its other core feature, interoperability:
"[Polkadot] connects several chains together in a unified network, allowing them to process in parallel and exchange data with strong security guarantees between chains. By parallelizing the workload, Polkadot solves major throughput issues."
Though it conceivably allows room for Ethereum, Polkadot's launch represents yet another severing of linkages between the networks' creators and the Ethereum network. The Web3 Foundation and Parity Technologies, which developed Polkadot, are led by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood and former Ethereum Foundation security chief Jutta Steiner, respectively.
After several confrontations between Ethereum devotees and the Parity team over alleged conflicts of interest, Parity Technologies stated in December that it would stop maintaining the Ethereum codebase and developing Ethereum 2.0 to instead focus on Polkadot.
A key member of Parity Technologies' developer relations team, Afri Schoedon, has been terminated, according to Schoedon and other sources. The apparent termination is seemingly the result of a disagreement between Schoedon and the company over its decision to hand over management of the Parity Ethereum client codebase to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) called OpenEthereum. Parity Technologies announced its plans yesterday, saying it is shifting its focus to Polkadot, a blockchain...
For his part, in today's release Gavin Wood said, “Polkadot is, in many respects, the biggest bet in this ecosystem against chain maximalism. Even if there were one perfect chain, I don’t think it would stay perfect for very long. I would argue that it's really not such a good plan to be so focused on backing one winner above all others.”
Polkadot has been inching toward mainnet release over the past year. Web3 released Kusama, an experimental network that goes beyond the bounds of a traditional testnet, in July 2019. In February, it placed Polkadot's native DOT tokens on Coinbase Custody.
Tesla is set to debut its first commercial robotaxi service in Austin, Texas by June, CEO Elon Musk claimed during the company’s April 22 earnings call. The initial rollout will feature 10 to 20 Model Y vehicles equipped with Tesla’s "Full Self-Driving" software, which thus far operates under human supervision. Musk emphasized plans for rapid expansion to other U.S. markets later in the year. In parallel, Tesla is developing the “Cybercab,” a purpose-built autonomous vehicle lacking a steering...
A malware campaign is using fake PDF to DOCX converters as a vector for sneaking malicious PowerShell commands onto machines, enabling the attacker to access crypto wallets, hijack browser credentials and steal information. Following an FBI alert last month, CloudSEK Security Research team has carried out an investigation revealing details about the attacks. The goal is to trick users into executing a PowerShell command which installs the Arechclient2 malware, a variant of SectopRAT, an informat...
Polygon Labs is moving electric motorcycles on-chain in Dubai—and India might be next. The Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution has teamed up with sustainable infrastructure startup Pyse to tokenize a fleet of electric delivery vehicles in Dubai, using Polygon's blockchain to anchor asset ownership and real-time data collection. A new era of RWAs is here, and it starts with EV bikes. Here's why it matters 🧵<1/12> pic.twitter.com/dJ5MVVReGE — Pyse (@PyseEarth) April 23, 2025 Polygon’s latest fora...
