@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.
โThink about how big of a data availability layer you haveโ โ Polkadot delivers 110 MB/s DA throughput rn meaning apps get more bandwidth to play with. (DA landscape image cred: @0xgoku_ & @vizdotval)
โThink about native messaging across parachainsโ
โ Polkadotโs protocol-native interop lets apps collaborate trustlessly out of the box.
โThink about how Spammening showed us the level of TPS you can find on Polkadot rollups is outstandingโ โ During Spammening, @kusamanetwork hit 143K TPS using a fraction of its potential. Parallelization + fast blocktimes make it real.
โThink about Elastic Scaling. Polkadot is the only system that you can spin up or spin down your infrastructure if youโre expecting more usage for whatever reasonโ
โ Elastic scaling lets Polkadot rollups tap into multiple cores on demand. Scale when you need it, save when you donโt.
โAnother aspect we take for granted is shared securityโ
โ Every chain inherits the full security of the relay chain. No need to bootstrap your own validator set.
