Kusama, a testnet of sorts for Polkadot, has seen its very first parachain go live soon after Polkadot creator and Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood announced that the project is entering the final phase of its mainnet launch.
Parachains refer to different blockchains that connect with Polkadot and run in parallel within one unified network. Each chain enjoys access to key features like a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm and on-chain governance. It's a key feature of the network and one which will distinguish it from hundreds of other blockchain competitors. And with yesterday's rollout on Kusama, this feature is one step closer to going live on Polkadot.
Wood shared the news on Twitter yesterday, with deployment details available on Kusama’s block explorer.
And proposition 110 passed! In two hours, the deployment will be completed and if all goes well we'll start seeing the first blocks on a live @kusamanetwork parachain. Here's an article with more details: https://t.co/xTbFtx2GPI pic.twitter.com/3bLOjvi9KN
— Gavin Wood (@gavofyork) May 17, 2021
Launched last summer, Kusama is Polkadot’s sister network designed to serve as a live testbed for new features before they are fully deployed on Polkadot.
Wood said that despite Polkadot’s “highly decentralized and inclusive staking system,” the network “has so far existed only as a single chain in isolation.”
“With the launch of parachain functionality, this is about to change,” he stated, adding that the final vision of the network is now “about to become reality.”
The rollout of Kusama’s first parachain follows the release of Polkadot v0.9 earlier this month, which included the requisite logic for deploying parachains to the network.
Developed by the Web3 Foundation and Parity Technologies and launched in May 2020, Polkadot is a proof-of-stake protocol with the ultimate goal of creating an internet of interoperable blockchains.
Equity analysts from investment firms Benchmark and Bernstein reiterated their buy ratings and lofty price targets for Strategy (MSTR), a day after the company said that it had recorded a loss of $5.9 billion on its Bitcoin holdings in its first quarter of 2025. The analysts highlighted Strategy’s continued strategy to purchase more Bitcoin, which has become its core business after the company pivoted from software development about five years ago. “While the number of companies that have soug...
Riot Platforms posted mixed earnings results for the first quarter as it took steps to mitigate the effects of mining industry headwinds on its business. The Bitcoin miner clocked $161.39 million in revenue in the three-month period ending on March 31, up 13% from the previous quarter, the firm said Thursday in a statement. That's roughly 2% above Wall Street’s expectations of $160.72 million. The company's total revenue was largely boosted by its Bitcoin mining income, which jumped 100% in th...
Fortnite maker Epic Games’ antitrust case against Apple benefited the crypto industry on Thursday, when the iPhone maker loosened restrictions on developers’ ability to offer apps in the U.S. that direct users to non-standard purchasing methods or digital collectibles. Apple updated its iOS App Store review guidelines after a U.S. District Judge found this week that the tech titan “willfully” violated a court injunction issued in 2021. Moving forward, the federal court prohibited Apple from coll...
