Since Polkadot announced the parachain slot auction rules last time, the market has been waiting for the official implementation of this matter, and the parachain slot auction is likely to be the biggest positive news that Polkadot can confirm this year. But for the start time of the official auction, the official has not yet determined, everything will have to wait until Gavin Wood believes that all the programs and codes are safe before getting the exact start time. Before that, Polkadot still maintains the previous cautious style. A rigorous test, verification, and implementation system has been designed for the launch of the slot auction and even the implementation of the slot auction. According to the latest announcement by Gavin Wood, the founder of Polkadot, the parachain will be officially released at the end of this quarter, that is, at the end of this month. October We have also sorted out the main work content, the specific content is as follows: secondary title Simultaneous promotion of technology development and ecological construction at the end of 2020 October #Pocahontas contract development center Patract Hub was established to provide development support for WASM contracts Since the way to participate in the Polkadot ecosystem is in the form of slotting, the number of early stages is small, the competition is high, and the development difficulty and iteration speed are slow. In particular, high-cost pledge maintenance is required, which is out of reach for many projects. In response to this reality, the Polkadot parachain contract solution provider has set up a contract development center, which is similar to the Ethereum platform and provides a large number of free development tools and services for contract developers. It is understood that the platform mainly provides development support for native WASM contracts, and at the same time promotes the development of new contract languages. Such a job seems to be very popular, but it actually demonstrates Polkadots tolerance and wisdom. This strategy is that Polkadot knows clearly that only by attracting more people to enter, will it be more capable of becoming a chain of ten thousand chains . November The consensus code that promotes the V1 version of the parachain has passed the test experiment of expanding the test network to more nodes. After the test is stable, it will be deployed on Rococo. #Develop the Lottery module so that users can participate in Polkadot network governance #Accumulatively support 30+ proposal projects for ecological construction Kusama treasury spending exceeds 2 million US dollarsFirst, follow the three phases 0/1/2 of Polkadot’s previously announced parallel chain line diagram. The current key work is Phase 1: testing the security of the parachain and making key improvements. In the past few months, Polkadot has focused on the testing and access of Rococo1 to ensure the stable operation of the network after accessing Kusama and Polkadot. In addition, supplementary adjustments have been made according to different stages of ecological development proposals, and many favorable assistances have been provided to high-quality projects. In addition, related components of technological development have been developed and constructed simultaneously, becoming popular leaders in DeFi, cross-chain middleware, and public chain projects. Optimistic about infrastructure options. Only when these works are done solidly can we enter the second stage, which is the final of the final, to realize the launch of the polkadot parachain.
Since the launch of the Kusama network, the Kusama treasury has actively supported ecological construction. As of November 2020, proposals in different fields including website development and operation, promotional production, wallet, payment, NFT gallery, etc. have been supported, which also makes the Kusama network always Stay active.

#RococoV1 implements a new round of optimization testing begins
Polkadot co-founder Robert announced the development progress of the parallel chain and mentioned:
V1 (production-level) parachain codes have all been regulated in the guidelines, and most of the Rust implementation has been completed, only a few subsystems are missing.
The message passing function (HRMP) between parachains has been implemented, and parachain messages are transmitted through the relay chain.
The parachain test network Rococos V1 test network has been implemented, and the team developed on Polkadot can use this test network for testing, and then go live on the Polkadot main network.
The code base is being audited.
Next, we will conduct network optimization and testing, improve the auction module, prepare to officially launch the parachain on Kusama and Polkadot, and simultaneously develop and launch the parathread.
#波卡 Launches a 1000-person validator plan to create a more decentralized network
#Rococo-V1 up and running One step closer to goal
On December 23, Polkadot co-founder Robert announced that the latest version of Rococo-V1 based on the parachain consensus was officially launched, and the code will run on Polkadot and Kusama. This version of the codebase prepares production code for parachain consensus. Compared with the previous V0 version, it adds a cross-chain parachain mechanism and a more robust and scalable software architecture. The launch of Rococo1 plays a key role in paving the way and testing for the release of Polkadot and Kusama network parachain functions. It is one step closer to being able to be deployed on Kusama and Polkadot.
#60+ testnet online ready to access Polkadots blockchain 100+
Dot pledge innovation—your DOT will not be transferred to anyone”, Gavin, the founder of Polkadot, pointed out that participating in parachain auctions, that is, participating in parachain (slot) leasing is called “crowd-loaning”. Crowd-funding is similar, but you dont really have to hand over your hard-earned money in exchange for tokens, its just a loan, you lock your DOT for a specific period of time, and you can get it back after unlocking Your DOT. The point is that the locking process happens on the Polkadot relay chain. You don’t have to transfer the money to the project party, so you don’t have to worry about the project party running away. The Polkadot protocol itself guarantees that these coins will be released after the lock-up period ends. Back to your hands. This lock does not involve transfer. At the end of the year, Polkadot has become the largest network for value staking.

New Year 2021 The specific slot auction time is still unknown
January
#Infrastructure testing work continues and the auction time is approaching
Some official information related to the slot auction:
Parachain functionality is currently being tested on the testnet Rococo.
The parachain function can be launched after the development and testing are completed.
Slot auctions will begin shortly after the parachain feature goes live.
Parachain slot auctions on Kusama will take place before Polkadot.
The market speculates that if all goes well, the Kusama slot auction will be held around March this year, and the Polkadot slot auction will be around April.
The first slot of #Rococo V1 was obtained by Plasm, opening a new process of slot registration and access
Rococo V0 is the prototype, while V1 is the latest version of the Parachain consensus, the same code that runs on Polkadot and Kusama. In this sense, it is of great significance to obtain the first Rococo V1 parachain, and will have the opportunity to be the first to test the waters of Kusama and Polkadot.
#Official announcement of the registration process for the Rococo V1 slot of the parachain testnet
The requirement to participate in Rococo V1 slot registration is to maintain at least one Rococo V1 validator and at least one parachain collector, and need to fill out the application form, and then wait until the official approval and distribution of ROC tokens, you can successfully obtain the Rococo V1 slot , officially started the test of the parachain!
#Ecological access strong willingness to prepare ready to go
Over 17 projects including Karura, Phala, and Robonomics are preparing to bid for Polkadot and Kusama parachains.
#Rococo paralink entry and web testing work
There are 8 parachains connected to Rococo, including Tick, Trick, Track, Plasm, Acala, KILT, Phala, PolkaBTC.
Solve the problem that the parachain block is relatively slow. Push to add more parachains quickly.
Seeing whether Rococo is increasing the number of connected parachains and whether the connected parachains are producing blocks normally will directly affect the specific time for the auction to go online.
secondary title
Important work and market expectations in March
The number of parallel links on the Rococo test network reaches 10. Once the code is satisfied with the operation, RococoV1 will be launched on the Kusama network, and the Kusama auction will be launched together, which is the slot auction and crowd lending system. This could happen within the next month or two.
