Tuning In To On-Chain News For Polkadot\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On-chain, the Polkadot\u2019s parachains are actively contributing to the network\u2019s overall growth. <\/span>Polkadotters<\/span><\/a>, an X account dedicated to sharing Polkadot developments, shared several developments this week. Bifrost\u2019s July report is among the developments that show incredible growth for the protocol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The monthly report <\/span>shows<\/span><\/a> that Bifrost grew by a substantial margin. By the end of July, Bifrost had a total of $80.8 million in total value locked (TVL) and over 8 million voucher DOT (vDOT) minted. vDOT is the protocol\u2019s representation of DOT staked on the platform and according to this high number, DOT is an active token used in staking on Bifrost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Peaq, a parachain focused on decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), secured a <\/span>partnership<\/span><\/a> with Roam, a fellow DePIN-focused platform. The partnership covers Roam\u2019s launch of its network and native token on the Peaq ecosystem, contributing to Polkadot\u2019s growth through increasing activity on Peaq and its network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DOT is currently trading at $4.61. Chart: TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DOT Tries To Breach $4.61<\/h2>\n

DOT is currently attempting to break through the $4.61 ceiling, resuming yesterday\u2019s action by trying to flip the ceiling to a solid support level. However, this maybe thwarted by the bears as the market currently favors the downward pressure felt by investors and traders in the short term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite this, positive developments can alleviate the shaken confidence brought by the market\u2019s sharp decline this week. The only question remaining will be how big the gains can be if the rebound continues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If DOT bulls are successful in this breakthrough, the token will have the necessary foundation for future upward movement. Bulls can emulate DOT\u2019s movement in late 2020 where they settled on $4.61 before the market\u2019s bull run. However, market volatility will still be a huge problem for DOT\u2019s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the major cryptocurrencies continue their rebound to pre-overreaction levels, then there might be a chance for DOT to reclaim $6.16 in the long term. Until then, investors and traders should remain cautious of the token\u2019s position and momentum as it can be susceptible to a swing downward.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into

He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.","sameAs":["jomarjet01"],"url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/author\/jomarjet01\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Polkadot Developments Show Strength, Despite Coin’s 18% Loss","url":"http:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/polkadot-developments-show-strength-despite-coins-18-loss\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/polkadot-developments-show-strength-despite-coins-18-loss\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/a_85e3da.jpg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/a_85e3da.jpg?fit=1718%2C980"},"articleSection":"Cryptocurrency Market News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christian Encila"}],"creator":["Christian Encila"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["altcoins","crypto","dot","polkadot"],"dateCreated":"2024-08-08T02:00:08Z","datePublished":"2024-08-08T02:00:08Z","dateModified":"2024-08-08T02:00:08Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Polkadot Developments Show Strength, Despite Coin’s 18% Loss\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/news\\\/polkadot-developments-show-strength-despite-coins-18-loss\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/news\\\/polkadot-developments-show-strength-despite-coins-18-loss\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/08\\\/a_85e3da.jpg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/08\\\/a_85e3da.jpg?fit=1718%2C980\"},\"articleSection\":\"Cryptocurrency Market News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Christian Encila\"}],\"creator\":[\"Christian Encila\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"altcoins\",\"crypto\",\"dot\",\"polkadot\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2024-08-08T02:00:08Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-08-08T02:00:08Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-08-08T02:00:08Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/uniquehot.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/a_85e3da.jpg?fit=1718%2C980","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633751"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/557"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/633751\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=633751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=633751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
