After months of intense work, our @Polkadot smart contract platform "Revive" is entering its final release phase. We’re excited to share a detailed status update and concrete release dates here:

It has been a while since our last report on our novel smart contract platform “Revive”. This post gives an update on where we are today, what we have been working on over the past months, and when...

This marks the beginning of a new era for @Polkadot. Read more about its philosophy about human-centric technology and products that belong to people instead of corporations.
Polkadot’s new website is live. It's a simpler, more human introduction to a complex system. The last decade built the protocol; that work continues. In the decade ahead, the focus shifts to the products and experiences built on top of it. This is v0. It will evolve as

The recording of my @Polkadotsub0 talk is live. It’s a straight explanation of @Polkadot Hub and our novel execution layer "Revive": what we built, why it matters, and how it reshapes the developer experience. If you’re building on Polkadot, watch this. https://t.co/Xju9ciYq5S

This month at the @StakingSummit in Buenos Aires I presented how @Polkadot Hub will remove many boundaries of yield strategies today and will unlock new DeFi use cases.
Polkadot is removing the ceilings that have limited yield protocols for a decade. In this @StakingSummit presentation, Torsten from @paritytech shows how Polkadot Hub unifies staking, assets, and high-compute smart contracts, enabling strategies EVM-only chains simply can’t

Thrilled to be speaking at Web3 Summit this year! I’ll be diving into the hidden engines of Web3, smart contract virtual machines, and how new designs like PolkaVM are pushing their limits.
We’re pleased to welcome @torstenmove, smart contracts lead at Parity Technologies. With a PhD in Computer Science, Torsten’s background spans theoretical foundations, machine learning, and language models. He co-founded multiple startups before entering the blockchain space in

Now and then reinventing the wheel isn’t a waste. It’s how you learn, avoid bloated dependencies, and drive real innovation. Great article on why we should do it more often.

It was a pleasure to join some of the brilliant minds at @paritytech today to give the @Polkadot community a deeper look at Ethereum-compatible smart contracts coming to Polkadot. Exciting times ahead!

Excited to have @OpenZeppelin supporting smart contracts on Polkadot. Their tools and libraries will be a huge asset for builders across the ecosystem. We're building an Ethereum-compatible platform that goes beyond, powered by RISC-V for greater performance and flexibility.
We're excited to announce our expanding collaboration with @Polkadot 🎆 This year, smart contracts are coming to Polkadot! And we’re shipping contracts libraries, development tools, and parachain runtimes that will power builders across the entire Polkadot ecosystem👇

More people realizing that RISC-V is the right step forward for smart contracts.
I was wrong about RISC-V: It is actually awesome, as it has huge scalability benefits ETH is taking a great step forward in upgrading its VM! RISC-V does NOT require specialised hardware; as the emulation cost is low (~30%) That was my mistake. Thank you all for correcting me!

🚀 We've crossed $500,000 in bridging volume on @pendulum_chain's Spacewalk bridge. Defi-powered EUR off-ramp is gaining serious traction. Try it, love it 👉 https://t.co/mkmYXHdjWk 🌎 Also, available in 🇧🇷

Exactly what we have launched in EUR and Brazil, last week with @Vortex_Fi powered by @circle's and @BRLAdigital's local stables. Happy to see the architecture of DeFi fx validated by the @base team. Happy to add more routes and countries for users. They love the super low
International Stablecoins Payments: Today: -> Multiple offchain FX swaps (Costly) -> Rely on local liquidity (Inefficient) But now that @base is growing the largest onchain currency economy... Tomorrow: -> Single onchain FX swaps (Cheap) -> Leverage deep global liquidity

Great use case for @Vortex_Fi ! https://t.co/ffxcW4EAul
After winning on @Polymarket it is so easy to offramp euro with @Vortex_Fi on @0xPolygon so handy 🌪️⭐️

@peterschroederr @artemis__xyz The quicker the token can support different networks and ecosystems, the higher the adoption and use case potential. @pendulum_chain brings EURC to @Polkadot via the Spacewalk bridge with @StellarOrg
