🦘Behind every leap in @Polkadot's builder experience, there’s an engineer pushing limits. Parity engineer@SantiBalaguer helped bring @PolkadotDeploy to life, giving builders a direct path to launch and scale on Polkadot.
“We’re not here to cut corners. We’re here to build things that matter.” @SantiBalaguer on what drives him to build and why doing it right matters more than doing it fast on the first episode of Into the Blocks 🎥

We don’t chase hype. We ship infrastructure. That’s the Parity way.🛠️
📌 Polkadot’s 9-year journey isn’t just about DOT’s price. From a 2016 white paper to bridging Wall Street in 2025, @Polkadot prioritized infrastructure, governance, and interoperability over speculation. Here’s the full story 🧵👇

🧰 What’s inside? 🔹Hardhat stack (@parity/hardhat-polkadot, ignition, resolc, preconfigured networks). 🔹Foundry toolchain (forge, cast, anvil) via foundryup-polkadot. 🔹Local revive node + ETH-RPC adapter. 🔹Auto key management (prompted or auto-generated).

⏳ Before: Setting up a Polkadot smart contract environment took 20–45 mins per dev. ⚠️ Pain points: manual installs, version mismatches, broken deps. At hackathons, that’s game over. Now: one command → instant dev environment.

🚨 Friday Developer activity check-in w/@chainspect_app. @Polkadot & @kusamanetwork ecosystems remain at the top for commits & repos - proving scale + depth matter. The quiet metric? Builders never stopped building. 🛠️

Builders: this is your runway. If you need bursts of TPS for drops, games, DeFi, or enterprise, Elastic Scaling + Asynchronous Backing are here today. Let’s ship. 🛠️

TPS is not the whole story. Polkadot is a multichain platform: many specialized rollups run in parallel under shared security. Consider aggregate throughput and validator efficiency, rather than a single-chain TPS number. 🧠

Competitive context. Even non-batch results on just 15 cores outpace top L1s, underscoring Polkadot’s efficiency for everyday txs. 🏎️

Batch vs. non-batch: both fly. • 85,103 TPS (batch) at 15% cores • 10,920 TPS (non-batch) at 15% cores • Single rollup on three cores: 19,450 TPS (batch) / 3,273 TPS (non-batch)

Why it works. • Asynchronous Backing (6s blocks) • Agile Coretime (dynamic allocation) • Elastic Scaling (add cores, add TPS)

Speed + stability under load. Average block times of 6 seconds and 16 seconds to finality held steady, even during peak traffic. That’s resilience for real apps.⏱️
