Recently, Polkadot has become a hot spot in the currency circle. In addition to the rise in currency prices, the slot hype from Polkadot and Kusama has also attracted the attention of many people, and the market value of Polkadot has also continued to rise, greatly replacing usdt , catching up with the trend of Ethereum, so many people also shouted the slogan that Polkadot has become the killer of Ethereum, and they can also finish fighting with Sanlang in a short time.
So can Polkadot replace Ethereum in this bull market? The author thinks this is more difficult. At present, Polkadot still has some problems, and these problems are also important factors restricting the ecological development of Polkadot. Therefore, it is still too early to see Polkadot replacing Ethereum.
1. The ecology of Polkadot is not yet mature, and the model has yet to be verified
Although parachains and slot auctions seem relatively new, the new model often brings certain risks, that is, there is no past experience for reference. In this case, many things can only stay in theory. For example, we use slots to As far as auctions are concerned, it is still unclear whether this method can bring positive effects to the ecology. Of course, even if there is a high probability that it is positive, the real market reaction has not yet come out. What needs to be reminded is that the real market reaction refers to the auction The project side of the slot, not the hype person who has coins in his hand.
In the blockchain world, every major innovation will bring a problem, that is, there will always be traditionalists and emerging ones. The traditionalists are often not willing to accept new things, thinking that the previous things are already very good, while the emerging ones Factions are often more likely to accept new things. They have their own plans here. One is conservative and the other is innovative. Although historical experience tells us that innovation is often the key, conservative is not useless. For example, Ethereum was developed in that way. . No matter how much the increase in Ethereum has been, it has not surpassed the market value of Bitcoin so far, and the Bittheism can be regarded as safe and secure, and its position in the big pie is unattainable.
Similarly, although the current Ethereum model has some problems, at least it has been verified that it is feasible, so naturally people are willing to take the path of least resistance, that is, the old path, because there will be some cases in the old path for people to go. For reference, this increases the success probability of ecological project parties developing on it, which also enables them to make money and do business faster, and the new way naturally requires more tempering, so the new model brought by Polkadot still takes a long time. way to explore.
2. Polkadot’s ecology is relatively scattered, which is not conducive to the steady increase of Polkadot’s market value
Polkadot uses a parallel chain method. Polkadot also has a leading chain, kusama. Polkadot’s slot bidding price is relatively expensive. If the project party can’t afford it, then it can bid for the slot of the leading chain kusama. In this case The cost will be reduced a lot. In theory, if the project party still can’t afford Kusama’s slot auction, someone may create a Kusama pioneer network, which can be used to carry lower-priced slot auctions. In theory, it is possible Endless, that is to say, as long as you are a Polkadot ecological project party and intend to bid for slots, there will always be one that suits you.
In this way, we can think that there may not be many projects connected to the Polkadot mainnet, because most of them are scattered on other pioneer networks or the pioneer network of the pioneer network, and there will be many similar effects.
