Polkadot and Ethereum 2.0 — A Look at the Solutions Building the Scalability ...
Both Ethereum 2.0 and Polkadot are promising sharding-based protocols overcoming the scalability challenges facing legacy blockchains. Although slightly different, together, the Relay Chain and Beacon Chain represent another significant leap forward, especially for interoperability. Partitioning the Problem: Sharing the Load via Sharding Scalability has been a hotly debated topic after networks bumped up against the limits over the last year. Yet, long before it entered the mainstream conversation, developers postulated several angles of attack. Despite the triumphant launch of layer 2....

The meteoric rise of decentralized finance across 2020 exposed numerous vulnerabilities with the Ethereum network. While the Ethereum blockchain is one of the most secure and ‘battle-hardened’ infrastructures, high gas costs and scalability issues have led some projects to innovate instead of waiting for the long-desired Ethereum 2.0. Second-layer solutions have gained notoriety lately as companies endeavor to reduce gas fees and foster Ethereum scalability by shifting transactions to sidechains. Polygon, a recent rebrand of […]
MoonBeam wants Ethereum developers to feel comfortable on Polkadot. The MoonBeam project is planning on setting up a custom parachain that emulates the Ethereum Virtual Machine environment, effectively recreating Ethereum (ETH) on Polkadot (DOT).Developers on Polkadot and some other interoperability projects usually need to set up an entire blockchain to host their decentralized apps. While Polkadot’s Substrate framework is intended to make this process simpler, not all DApps need that level of control over their environment.MoonBeam seeks to become a kind of Ethereum emulator for....
Although it’s possible to draw comparisons between almost any two blockchain development platforms, comparing Ethereum with Polkadot is almost an inevitability. Not only on the technical level – they use a comparable architecture and proof-of-stake consensus to achieve scalability – but because Vitalik Buterin and Dr. Gavin Wood also have a shared history in Ethereum. Polkadot and Ethereum are Entering the Final Stretch of the Runway for Chain Supremacy The coming year is set to be a big one for both networks. Ethereum has been rolling out a series of improvements ahead....
Examine how Polkadot's ecosystem and Substrate platform can be compared to Ethereum’s upcoming upgrade as the race toward Web3 gathers momentum. For most casual digital asset investors, the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade promises to be a game-changing event that will improve efficiency, reduce network costs and propel the entire blockchain and crypto space closer to a Web3 reality.Ethereum has been struggling with a lack of scalability and skyrocketing gas fees, and since it serves as the largest smart contract and DApp development platform, the move to a more reliable and scalable proof-of-stake....
Polkadot is trying to achieve scalability without compromising network security. Early signs suggest it may beat Ethereum 2.0 in the transaction fee race. Web3, interoperability, and layer 0 are all terms tossed around when describing Polkadot. But what do they mean, and how will they impact the Internet and cryptocurrency market? Cointelegraph Research’s new report explores how Polkadot is tackling distributed ledger scalability and centralization of the web simultaneously. For starters, imagine a world where Facebook is replaced by a decentralized social media application built on....
