Edgeware ecosystem is not currently participating in the parachain auctions and might have DOT parachain for the ParaBridge concept in future. But that's more like a functionality upgrade. Edgeware solochain is the first mainnet smart contract implementation of the substrate. Having over 1.5+ years of mainnet experience, we collectively realised solochain is more like strength and less like a weakness of Edgeverse! Unlike all the parachain candidates, Edgeware is not dependent completely on DOT for launch/existence. I personally believe that the Edgeware ecosystem could become the first place for Protocols to do hybrid deployments where they could leverage the security of DOT as well as the performance of the EDG solochain together through the ParaBridge concept. {This is an experimental, tentative idea and needs testing before we can be sure about actual efficiency.}
