After the 100-fold split of the Polkadot project token DOT the day before yesterday (the weekend of August 22), there was another wave of Polkadot fever in the market.
It seems that the price has come down, but it is split by 100 times, it just seems that the unit price has dropped. In fact, the price is still going up.
The current Polkadot ecology can be divided into three major directions:
node validator
Kusama Network
Polkadot substrate infrastructure sector
The consensus mechanism currently used by Polkadot is NPOS (Nominated Proof of Stake).

1. Node verifier
Projects and websites that currently support Polkadot node validators:

Polkadot.pro
Introduction: Founded by a group of Italian and international IT enthusiasts, this website provides validator services for the Polkadot infrastructure.
The website contains several verifier nodes of the Polkadot and Kusama networks, which can be bound to the nodes and participate in the verification.
The total number of Dots currently bonded and pledged on Polkadot.pro is: 105,665

2. Kusama network
The Chinese translation is Canary Network, and the relationship with Polkadot Network is similar to that of cousins. The code bases of Kusama and Polkado are very similar, but each is an independent network. Kusama is characterized by faster governance and lower participation thresholds. Kusama is fast and unrestrained, Polkadot is slow and conservative, methodical governance rhythm and steady upgrade pace, stable and reliable performance are the characteristics of Polkadot. From the perspective of characteristics, Polkadot is very much like a mature elder brother, while Kusama is like a lively and open younger brother.
Therefore, Kusama is very suitable for some pre-testing and early deployment. Polkadot will execute some low-risk, high-value applications after the system is stable.

3. Substrate infrastructure
This is also the most important part of the Polkadot ecosystem. If the infrastructure is mature, it is not impossible for Polkadot to surpass Ethereum. The Polkadot Substrate section is divided into bridge network, IOT, smart contract, Defi, data, and scalability under the Polkadot network. The following is a list of representative projects in each sector.
Bridge network:
ChainX
Introduction: ChainX is committed to becoming a digital asset cross-chain hub, and will transfer cross-chain assets in a completely decentralized manner, so that BTC, ETH, EOS, ADA, etc. can freely circulate to other chain systems. ChainX is the first Polkadot ecological chain launched based on Substrate technology. In the future, it will be connected to the Polkadot network through a secondary relaychain to help Polkadot realize the interconnection of cross-chain ecological assets.

IOT：
MXC
Introduction: Machine Xchange Coin (MXC) provides a unique distributed "Internet of Things data transaction network" for the global token economy. IoT data can be shared at scale while ensuring complete end-to-end privacy. The MXC Foundation is committed to the research and application of Low Power Wide Area Internet of Things (LPWAN) and blockchain technology. MXProtocol is the core of MXC. It is a completely decentralized standard protocol based on LPWAN. It solves the following problems: 1. Solve the conflict of free frequency band IoT through ACC; 2. Solve LPWAN IoT through intelligent bidding technology Downlink resource allocation problem; 3. Solve the problem of IoT data cross-chain transactions and services through the cross-chain data market. Machine Xchange Coin is the first cryptocurrency based on connecting existing IoT devices and can be used to reward network participants, pay for services, and trade.

OCEAN Protocol
Introduction: Ocean Protocol is a decentralized data exchange protocol designed to unlock data and provide fairer outcomes for data users. Ocean Protocol allows data providers to interact with data consumers through a decentralized data marketplace while guaranteeing control, auditability, transparency and compliance for all participants. Ocean Token (OCEAN) is used as a value exchange method on the Ocean Protocol network, enhancing the protocol and incentivizing network nodes. Users can earn OCEAN by providing data as a market. OCEAN can be used to provide network services and manage data.

A joke: When I first saw the name Kusama, I thought of a Japanese contemporary artist named Yayoi Kusama. The picture below is a representative work of his spots.
Today I am just sorting out some information about Polkadot’s overall ecology. Interested students are welcome to discuss Polkadot, DeFi, Gavin Wood and other related content with the author.
