Polkadot

Historic day for Polkadot. In its new crypto assets interpretation (Rel. Nos. 33‑11412 / 34‑105020), the SEC classifies DOT as a “digital commodity” and, under that framework, does not treat DOT itself as a security under the federal securities laws. DOT now appears alongside BTC, ETH, and other digital commodities. A major step for regulatory clarity around DOT.

7. Builders are experimenting with Polkadot Polkadot Solidity Hackathon: Out of 268 qualified builds, 26 outstanding projects have been selected as winners by the hackathon, organized by @openguildwtf and @Web3Foundation. Some of the winning projects are DOT Pixel, a collaborative on-chain pixel art platform (EVM Track), CoreDEX, a coretime derivatives protocol (PVM Track), and Hyperway, a decentralized AI compute marketplace (@OpenZeppelin track). Well done to all the builders and learn more about what's next: x.com/openguildwtf/s…

March 2026 brought about a significant set of protocol-level changes for the Polkadot network. Several upgrades have been implemented this month, and more are planned going forward. Here's what you need to know👇️

Current Web3 systems are often slow and expensive to run. JAM takes a different approach, focusing on built-in interoperability and execution closer to the hardware to make things faster and more efficient.

Can Polkadot become Web3’s cloud? JAM is the direction the network is evolving toward. Don’t miss this short interview with @OliverTaleYazdi, building JAMbrains, an implementation of Polkadot’s JAM in Elixir. “We can be the decentralized cloud provider for any Web3 application.” 📽️ youtube.com/watch?v=gg4P23…

Choose your target network, review the parameters and gas estimate, then confirm deployment. Upon following these steps, your smart contract should be successfully deployed and fully operational. Use the Interact button to call your contract's functions and Subscan to explore smart contract details such as transaction history, balance, and more. 🔗 revx.dev

@paritytech C for connect your wallet Connect a supported web3 wallet to sign the transaction and fund the deployment.

Last year, AI became the world's biggest content creator, and that's not the point. The point is what happens when the world's biggest content creator is controlled by three private companies. Web3 infrastructure was never as needed as it is today.

What happens when machines can own wallets, earn revenue, and interact with digital infrastructure directly? It’s certainly a topic under active discussion, and projects in the Polkadot ecosystem, like @peaq, are exploring the idea.
