What, essentially, is the point of an event like ETHDenver? Oliver Brett was part of a considerable Polkadot contingent attending one of the biggest annual conferences in blockchain, and came away with many more positives than negatives.

Polkadot is the most scalable technology for building true Web3 applications and creating a 'Web3 cloud. This article, with additional input from Joyce Siqueira, Natalie Tillack, and Oliver Brett, explains the full value of Polkadot's Elastic Scaling model.

The second season of the JAM tour hits multiple venues across India, Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan through to early March. Oliver Brett was in the audience for the pipe-opener in Cambridge, UK, on Monday and reflects on a special experience.

This article, featuring additional research from 'eskimor' and Natalie Tillack, considers the inherent similarities, and benefits, of Polkadot’s case-specific chains when compared to the various “rollups” that have become popular in other ecosystems.

Blockchain ecosystems tend to be hampered by poor connectivity, unpredictable costs, and technical complexities. Polkadot’s native cross-consensus messaging (XCM) format is changing that and is evolving rapidly, paving the way for true Web3 interoperability.

Polkadot can feel complicated and unapproachable. Joe Petrowski lays out Parity’s plans to make it simpler and easier for developers and users alike.

Just pushing new “stuff” online - particularly when it comes to a complex ecosystem like Polkadot - is not the way forward when it comes to providing better information. So what is? (Also featuring the thoughts of Shawn Tabrizi and Alberto Viera).

Outlined earlier this year by Polkadot founder Dr Gavin Wood at TOKEN2049 in Dubai, JAM is an exciting technological development for Web3 at large, and not simply the existing Polkadot network. But in order to appreciate it fully, it helps to understand how we got here.

This article, with additional research from Parity's Natalie Tillack, sheds light on Agile Coretime, a major evolution in Polkadot’s technical framework, and explains what its arrival means for the ecosystem.

Effective tooling, controlling the pace of development, and making collaboration as mutually beneficial as possible: just some of the ways developers in the Polkadot ecosystem are trying to raise the network’s performance. The thoughts in this blog are taken from a panel at this summer’s Polkadot Decoded, Putting Developers First.
