*on the last Space Monkeys pod* @GldnCalf: "Why would a project today decide to deploy on Polkadot?" @SantiBalaguer: "It's my view that Polkadot is the only blockchain out there in the space that has been designed from the get-go to host rollups natively" Let's unpack that. “Think about how big of a data availability layer you have” → Polkadot delivers 110 MB/s DA throughput rn meaning apps get more bandwidth to play with. (DA landscape image cred: @0xgoku_ & @vizdotval) “Think about native messaging across parachains” → Polkadot’s protocol-native interop lets apps collaborate trustlessly out of the box. “Think about how Spammening showed us the level of TPS you can find on Polkadot rollups is outstanding” → During Spammening, @kusamanetwork hit 143K TPS using a fraction of its potential. Parallelization + fast blocktimes make it real. “Think about Elastic Scaling. Polkadot is the only system that you can spin up or spin down your infrastructure if you’re expecting more usage for whatever reason” → Elastic scaling lets Polkadot rollups tap into multiple cores on demand. Scale when you need it, save when you don’t. “Another aspect we take for granted is shared security” → Every chain inherits the full security of the relay chain. No need to bootstrap your own validator set. ⏯️ Absorb more knowledge in the full @TheKusamarian interview, featuring Santi Balaguerfrom @paritytech and @PolkadotDeploy: https://x.com/TheKusamarian/status/1946963318088024317(Polkadot)
