2025 wasn’t just a year - It was numbers 🚀 This year was all about nonstop building, continuous shipping, and expanding across ecosystems. Every milestone came from the hard work of the SubWallet team and the trust of our community We’re proud to build alongside @Polkadot and our partners across Web3. Here’s a look back at our 2025, and a big thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey ⤵️ Let’s keep that energy and head into 2026 ready for what’s next 🔥

Highest Traded Asset The highest transferred assets include DOT, USDT, vDOT, and ETH. [5/7]

$1.6B has moved through XCM in the last six months, driven by 27,000 users with an average transaction time of 49 seconds. What is XCM, and how have these messages flown across rollups in 2025? Let's take a look. [1/7]

Big news: Governance voting is live in SubWallet 🎉 Now you can vote for referendums directly in the wallet - no need to switch tabs or platforms Simply open the latest SubWallet extension, cast your vote, and make your voice heard in just a few clicks We're making governance more secure, simple, and accessible - giving you full control within the @Polkadot ecosystem, right in SubWallet

Last week: first cohort announced This week: meet the teams On Thursday, Jonathan Boyd (@v_labs) + @strindbergmans (@hydration_net) go live to introduce the projects in the DeFi Builders Program. Tune in and meet the next era of DeFi building on Polkadot.

Over 75 teams applied. Only 5 were accepted into the DeFi Builders Program by @v_labs. Learn all about the first cohort of projects building the next DeFi wave on Polkadot: polkadot.com/blog/meet-the-…

We are excited to welcome Koni Finance to the DeFi Builders Program. From the Subwallet team, Koni Finance is building an all-in-one trading & token launch ecosystem for Polkadot Hub. They're unifying Ethereum, Arbitrum, Bitcoin, and Polkadot networks with a seamless, PolkaVM-native platform. Simplifying the entire digital asset lifecycle!

The best time to start building on Polkadot was yesterday. The next best time is now. Polkadot 2.0 has been delivered.

@Polkadot D for @dotinsights_xyz 😄

Polkadot A-Z "C" is for Coretime.

POLKAJUNE is just around the corner! In anticipation to an amazing month of June in the Polkadot ecosystem, we are releasing a glimpse of the fascinating conversations we recorded with Gavin, Ed and Mark in Lisbon Today, we are starting with some deep insights from @gavofyork : Polkadot, Parachains, and Why Crypto Needs a Reality Check In a rare, unfiltered interview, Gavin Wood—co-founder of Ethereum and the visionary behind @Polkadot —laid out what he sees as both the problem with crypto today and the future path forward. It’s a critique of short-term hype, and a roadmap for real-world utility. Ethereum's Scaling Was Always Going to Break Long before Layer 2 became the band-aid fix for Ethereum’s congestion, Gavin saw the cracks forming. His solution wasn’t a patch—it was a rebuild. Polkadot was born from that reimagining: a network designed from the ground up to scale via specialized, parallel chains known as parachains. Parachains: Built for Real Use, Not Just Hype Polkadot’s parachains enable projects to launch their own sovereign chains with shared security and cross-chain interoperability. And these aren’t just speculative ventures—real teams are building serious products that rely on Polkadot’s architecture. Some have even turned down multi-million-dollar incentives from other chains because only Polkadot can support what they’re trying to build. Projects like: @frequency_xyz (decentralized social networking) @EnterTheMythos (managing in-game assets) are pushing the boundaries of what decentralized infrastructure can support. A Blunt Take on the Crypto Industry Gavin doesn’t mince words. He calls out an industry obsessed with vapid nonsense—meme coins, empty promises, and projects switching ecosystems for a paycheck. In his view, this isn’t innovation—it’s opportunism. "Success shouldn’t be about ‘fart coin’ prices. It should be about meat and bones—utility that matters." Elastic Scaling and Polkadot's Evolving Tokenomics One of the most exciting updates on the horizon is elastic core scaling. Soon, parachains will be able to rent more cores dynamically based on throughput needs—essentially buying more processing power as they grow. Here’s where Polkadot’s tokenomics come in: DOT is used to lease parachain slots, stake, and govern. But currently, demand is capped—each parachain can only use one core. With elastic scaling, demand for DOT could surge. Projects that need more speed will pay for more cores. This moves DOT from a static utility token to a dynamic resource allocator—an actual fuel for economic activity. It transforms the market: instead of a flat price from a fixed number of buyers, you get an open marketplace where demand scales with utility. As Gavin puts it, "This could unlock the full economic model Polkadot was designed for." The Long Game Forget the hype cycles. Gavin Wood is building for something else: an ecosystem where real products can grow, scale, and last. “I'm okay with people building nonsense on Polkadot. But that’s not what I’m designing for.” In a crypto world chasing quick hits, Polkadot is staking a claim on durability, adaptability, and value that lasts. Get ready for PolkaJune, where we will release the full conversations we held with the 3 Polkadot Musketeers!

@fabsverseNFT @TheSchoolofBits @AndreyMcQueen Polkadot has been built for the multichain future since day 1 and it keeps evolving 😎 Nice post!

I tell you, you don’t believe it. IcoBeast tells you, you don’t believe it. BREAD tells you, you don’t believe it. Bro, do you need the Pope to tell you or what? Don’t sleep on Polkadot. Look at the chart. It’s not complicated: Data Availability (DA) = how much info a blockchain can handle and share with others, fast and reliably. Every app, every game, every transaction, they all need space to store and share data. If your DA sucks, your whole chain lags. → Ethereum? Slow. → Celestia? Better. → Polkadot? Already scaling. → JAM? Pushing 850MB/s soon. The difference? Most DA systems scale vertically = hit limits fast. Polkadot scales sideways. Add lanes, not pressure. Ps: June is going to be a BIG month for Polkadot.

The benefits and the use cases of Elastic Scaling 🪩 @Polkadot 2.0 is coming so close 👉 The future of blockchain is here 😎

A resilient, unstoppable, growing ecosystem 💗

Builders back for builders 🙌⚙️ @Polkadot isn't just a blockchain network, it's the largest DAO where Web3 enthusiasts shape a decentralized future😎 Kudos to @paraspell, a @AcademyPolkadot graduate, for enhancing cross-chain within the Polkadot ecosystem and beyond 😌

@fabsverseNFT @subwalletapp @kategrowth @Magentalabs_io @TheSchoolofBits @AndreyMcQueen

Most crypto wallets feel like duct tape. You stitch together apps, seed phrases, extensions just to move assets across chains. But what if one tool could actually speak the language of multiple ecosystems? → One seed phrase for Ethereum, Polkadot, Bittensor, TON and more → Browser, mobile, web all synced in real time → Stake, swap and manage assets without hopping between apps That’s what @subwalletapp is solving. It’s not just “another wallet.” It’s a command center built for multi-chain coordination. • Cross-chain swaps (ETH ↔ DOT ↔ TAO ↔ more) • Native & liquid staking, clearly explained • 200+ networks, 450+ tokens and growing • Full transparency, full control non-custodial Over 2 million installs in 3 years. 1M+ peak users. No noise. Just a better interface for blockchains that don’t stand still. This is what crypto should’ve always felt like.

Scalability matters! “The decision to leave the @ethereum ecosystem stems from a combination of issues surrounding relatively slow transaction speeds, even with L2 roll-ups, that would ultimately hinder our scaling plans with our new games this year.” @johnwastaken explained why @mythicalgames games had chosen @Polkadot to migrate @EnterTheMythos to be ready for the next flagship games like @FIFARivals @PlayPudgyParty 😍 Dive in here 👉 medium.com/subwalletapp/p…

@fabsverseNFT @Magentalabs_io @TheSchoolofBits @Polkadot @AndreyMcQueen 👏 In JAM, we trust. Reposted, bro.

Vitalik wants to replace Ethereum’s EVM with… RISC-V. Feels familiar? That’s because Polkadot already runs on a RISC-V-based virtual machine (PVM). What does this mean? • Faster execution • Simpler architecture • 100x+ better for zk-proving • Native Rust support • Built to scale modular ecosystems In simple terms: we are going from interpreted code (like reading through a translator) to native code (speaking the same language). It’s cleaner, lighter and easier to prove. Turns out, it really was just Polkadot all along.

@CryptMosh @Polkadot Great chart 😎 @Polkadot has grown resiliently over the past 3 years 🌱
