Radical Scaling Solution of Polkadot Unveiled at Conference

• Sophia Gold of Polkadot unveils radical scaling solutions at the Sub0 developer conference. 

• It was also disclosed that the asynchronous backing would be deployed on Polkadot in two weeks. 

At the just-ended Sub0, the Polkadot Developer Conference, Sophia Gold, Engineering Lead at Parity Technologies, a leading contributor to Polkadot disclosed that a team of developers is currently testing new processes to ensure that a radical scaling solution is provided for the network. According to her, this will just be a matter of weeks.

Speaking on the asynchronous backing roadmap, Sophia stated that it would cause the Polkadot’s number of validators to increase by an unimaginable margin by 2024. To be clear, Sophia stated that the number could be 1000. This would be the most significant evolution of parachain consensus since its launch almost two years ago.

What’s unique about backing in Polkadot is that it’s enshrined – it’s implemented natively on the protocol level and not on the smart contract level, which gives us capital efficiency and censorship resistance. Asynchronous backing enables flexible scheduling for our future scaling work through elastic scaling and instantaneous coretime. We have a credible roadmap to get Polkadot to support 1,000 parachains and 1m+ transactions per second. The design is there – we know how to scale Polkadot for the indefinite future.

In two weeks, the asynchronous backing would be deployed on the Polkadot’s Rococo testnet. At the conference, Polkadot co-founder Robert Habermeier unveiled new concepts and architectural components to unlock roadmap features already highlighted.

A new proposal of submitting work to Polkadot to make the network process a large range of activities was unveiled. An interesting feature known as atomic composability would be enabled by the new proposal to ensure a simultaneous execution of operations from different parachains.

This is how you would get to the point of cores being used by different parachains or bundled in all these different ways without having to enshrine that directly into Polkadot’s protocol. Rather, we make it possible through experimentation at higher levels.

Update on OpenZeppelin and Polkadot Price 

There was also an update on the operations of OpenZeppelin on the OpenBrush contract library. Felix Wegener, Security Services Manager of OpenZeppelin disclosed that there has been the creation of easily implementable as well as extensible smart contract standards.

According to him, a suggestion has been made on how to change design choices, tooling, upgradeability, and macros. 

On top of this, João Santos, Project Manager of OpenZeppelin, also disclosed that his team has also proposed “open-source parachain runtimes and underlying FRAME pallets.”

We believe the initial step here is a generic runtime to allow projects to have a common base and start building immediately. Then we can start taking the learning we had developing this runtime, take the community feedback, and then think about what’s next.

Juan Leni, CEO of Zondax, a major software developer for the Ledger hardware wallet, stated that his team is developing a new Ledger app for Polkadot. This is said to be different from anything in the ecosystem and is compatible with any parachain in the Polkadot ecosystem. 

Polkadot (DOT) is currently trading at $4.02 and has a bearish market sentiment according to data. In the last seven days, the asset has declined by 1.69 percent.
