Polkadot

Twenty-eight.

HyperBridge launches its mainnet on Polkadot, unlocking secure, scalable cross-chain communication.

At launch, HyperBridge introduces a token bridge for asset transfers, gateway, arbitrary message passing, and state queries across multiple ecosystems.

Gateway.

Billionaire Tim Draper leads three dollars two M seed round for Rider to replace seed phrases with TapSafe.

Other participants include venture capital firms Borderless, Symantic, SMAPE, Very Early, as well as angel investors Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, and-- 215.

Blockchain gaming documentary explores indie game development in Web3 and the Polkadot ecosystem.

The documentary provides an introduction to the possibilities of Web3 gaming, delving into the innovation and opportunities it presents for both players and dev-- 216.

Yeah.

Uh, the Polkadot ecosystem, the Near ecosystem.

We're rating them S or A to F, best to worst, and also some fun categories, too.

Well, and I think that, I think we wanted to have a conversation about these things that maybe be a little bit different about the way that you'd normally-

They may have big names, but, um, I don't think their ecosystems have as much demonstrated potential for adoption and usage as everybody in the tiers above.

And my D tier is more or less the same except they've just done worse at it.

Cardano, Polkadot, ICP.

Yeah.

Even-

And even Polkadot.

Yeah, even Polkadot and stuff, World Liberty Finance, Morpho.

But I, uh, Morpho's an AI product as well.

Jupiter's on this list, Render, Lidr, Laser.

Uh, so you know, it, it doesn't really do anything.

And also, the 16 digital commodities included Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Avalanche, Chainlink, Polkadot, Stellar, Hedera, Litecoin, Dogecoin, SHIB, Tezos, Bitcoin Cash, and Aptos.

And you know, in the past, I don't know as much about the CFTC talking about this, but, um, the SEC, I'm more familiar with their comments on, like, what is a security, what is a commodity.

And my understanding is that both these agencies have used these kinds of examples mostly in instances where there is a token for a network that functions to fulfill, um, you know, the purveyance of goods and services.

This, this is as nothing burger a nothing burger as a nothing burger could possibly be, in my, in my opinion.

I mean, and what I threw up on the screen here-

I was gonna say, what, what, we got the Polkadot chart just looming in the background.

Yeah.

Stop me if you heard this one before.

Polkadot, a buck 19 last week, a buck 20 this week.

I mean, we are just treading water out here.

Shiba Inu, last week, a million zeros, 566.

So in, in the, uh, type of structure that Epic shares with the original Bitcoin design, which itself, uh, is, is developing problems as it becomes more absorbed into the financial system, and Epic preserves, uh, what, what you have is a situation where the large holders can use that power, uh, to make the terms worse off for everyone else.

Um, this includes such famous names as Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cardano, and so on.

Um, it is argued that proof of stake is more energy efficient, which is debatable, um, but fundamentally from an Islamic perspective, it is significantly problematic.

So to reiterate, uh, with Epic, the rules are unchangeable.

Cardano, $0.215 last week, $0.2425.

This week's up a little over $0.25. or pretty close to $0.03. Polkadot, $1.02 last week, $1.17, up a whopping $0.15. And everyone's favorite, brace yourselves, listeners, Shiba Inu, a million zeros, 5355 last week.

This week, a million zeros, 5938.

So there you go.
