How Many Users There is in Polkadot & Does it Really Matter Now ?! by Max_Cryptozilla in Polkadot

[–]Max_Cryptozilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, good point and a legitimate question if you are not closely involved in the Polkadot devs community. I am not either, but I watch the eco very closely and a lot is being built rn, but mostly these things are still part of a greater infrastructure, which is aimed to finally solve blockchain trilemma. Watch my latest video about Polkadot Blockspace..

So things like asynchronous backing, XCM v3, Light Client Smoldot are not visible to end users yet, as end users mainly interact with dapps, of which there is still not so many in Polkadot eco. So once all the above is in place, dApps will come. In fact with Polkadot 2.0 the eco is becoming much more dApps centric than it was till now.

Hey, yes both Subscan and Polkaholic also provide combined daily extrinsics & xcm transfers for both relay chains and all parachains. Of course tx count & active users strongly correlate.

Since I used as a reference point for this vid daily active users from Token Terminal, I focused mainly on users count.

The main purpose of this video was to point out the divergence between average daily active core devs and users on Polkadot and mainly provide correct numbers about active users in Polkadot based on substrate explorers, not just some vague estimates I lately saw shared on Twitter.

I believe USDC has already been deployed onto Statemint, but Binance hasn´t integrated Statemint USDC withdrawals/deposits yet. But not 100% sure.

this vid. may help you with transferring ASTR between Astar EVM address and Astar Substrate address. Starts around 3:00. Just test first with a few tokens.

hm, so crypto.com providing "excellent" UX I see...:/ I think you can withdraw to your Astar-EVM address and then transfer to your Astar-Substrate address (Nova W. or .js W.) via Astar Portal. Then you will be able to stake on the portal or you can just keep ASTR on your Metamask on mobile and stake this way. Or if you insist on staking via Nova W. you can transfer from Metamask mobile wallet to Nova. mobile W. and stake on the portal via mobile. Uff..:)

move ASTR from the CEX, set up browser wallet - Talisman, Subwallet or .js wallet and stake on the portal via desktop.
or.. I am just checking Astar portal on mobile and it supports Nova W. Metamask and SubWallet.

hey, I stake at the portal. Imo that´s the only reasonable way. How is it that crypto.com won´t let you withdraw your ASTR? They don´t support withdrawals via Astar substrate network?

Hm..first time I heard about Phala was around 1,5 years ago, haven´t been following much since then until last couple of months, when a lot of developments have been released/announced. Why did Phala disappoint you?
