The leading web3 protocol’s latest launch of XCM (cross-consensus messaging) will optimize cross-chain communication, the report noted.
Crypto analytics resource Messari published a report on Polkadot’s Q1 performance, outlining the layer-zero protocol’s price action, network usage, latest developments in staking and decentralization, and possibilities ahead.
The paper stated that Polkadot has successfully completed 13 parachain slot auctions, with a total of 127.8 million DOT – worth $2.9 billion (at Q1’s end) and around 11% of the total supply – bonded. In addition, 28 more parachain slot auctions are scheduled through February 2023, making the total number 41.
Although the active and new accounts have decreased in the same period, the growth of parachains confirms the steady progress of the ecosystem.
Decentralized Staking
A day after the protocol approved the first parachain slot auction for Nov. 11 last year, DOT reached ATH at $55.08. However, since then, the asset’s price has been trading downward along with the broader market. The report attributed the drop of active accounts to users locking their DOT to support their desired parachain(s) in a slot auction because DOT locked in a “crowd loan” cannot be withdrawn for use in other applications.
Meanwhile, over the Q1 of 2021, the number of addresses holding DOT has increased steadily, indicating a consistently growing interest in the ecosystem despite the market remaining bearish.
