More or less a year ago the #IOTA Foundation announced two new networks.

#Shimmer a staging network and #Assembly a permissionless Layer2 network building on top of #IOTA.

Let's put together everything we know and speculate about their adoption and price.

A👇🧵

1/44
Okay so first we need to get a little bit of an overview of everything #IOTA.

We need to separate between networks and technology upgrades. This is necessary to keep a clear picture of everything we will talk about in this Thread

2/44
Simplified the #IOTA Foundation is marketing two major updates that are coming to their tech.

1) #Stardust - An update enabling the layer 1 (#DAG) to natively support customs assets (Tokens, NFTs) and be the trust anchor for layer 2 #sc networks.

I’ve heard a lot of FUD surrounding @Polkadot

Some is genuine curiosity like this post below, but many takes are just lazy with little to no DD

Let’s clear up a few things, see where $DOT is now, and look to where #Polkadot aims to be within the _real_ #web3

…🧵
1/

This thread is intended to be a starter pack for those who are curious about where #Polkadot is at the end of 2022 with links to learn more if desired

We’re staying at the user level because that’s where $DOT is headed next

Let’s start with a short look at #Web3 history
2/ #Ethereum beginnings

Founded in 2015 by @VitalikButerin, @gavofyork, @IOHK_Charles and others, Ethereum was an experiment in programmable money

Written in a brand new coding language called #solidity, dev’d by Gav, it enabled those smart contracts we all know too well

Council Incident Report:

On October 6th, 2022, Mangata X was targeted with a governance attack which resulted in attackers gaining voting rights on the on-chain Council for a brief time. The incident has since been resolved, and Mangata X is fully operational.

Opening 🧵 1/9
2/9 🧵 The type of attack was novel. Instead of a technical hack, the attackers used a hostile takeover of the council at 4:39 AM UTC to authorize transferring KSM from the parachain sovereign account on Kusama to another Kusama account.
3/9 🧵 At 18:29 PM UTC we regained control of the council and countered the actions taken by the attackers in full.

Kusama - Polkadot's canary network built for speed and innovation

@kusamanetwork and @Polkadot share the same codebase

Kusama is an early and unaudited version of Polkadot

Both networks operate as multichain, heterogeneously-sharded blockchains based on nominated PoS (NPoS)
2
While the two are closely related, Polkadot adopts a conservative approach and prioritizes reliability and stability, whereas #Kusama is wild and fast

It is not a testnet but a developmental network that is extremely helpful for early-stage deployment & bold experimentation
3
A significant problem associated with #testnets is their inability to test things that require some degree of value, e.g., #governance and stakeholder voting/participation

Such activities are futile as no individual is sufficiently motivated to vote on a #network with 0 value

1/ The Kusamaverse provides an interactive and live-visualisation of @Kusamanetwork and its transactions, in a 3D browser-based environment.

What data is visualised in #Kusamaverse?

🚀🚀🚀

Read the thread below 🧵 ⬇️
@kusamanetwork 2/ The Kusama relay chain visualised

Surrounding everything in the Kusamaverse is the relay chain - the heart of @Polkadot and @kusamanetwork

It represents the Kusama blockchain itself, where transactions are finalised.
@kusamanetwork @Polkadot 3/ Blocks validated in real-time

Periodically, the blocks which are currently being validated will appear on the #Kusama relay chain, showing the blocks’ ID

Beams of light, striking the blocks from the sky, indicate the exact validator nodes performing the validation ⚡️

New day, new thread! Today, we'll take a look at @MoonbeamNetwork and dig the tech behind it 👇

Moonbeam is a smart contract platform built with the @rustlang while also utilizing the @substrate_io framework.

(1/9)
The project is essentially a Layer-1 #blockchain with full #Ethereum interoperability presented on the @Polkadot network as a parachain.

Moreover, @MoonbeamNetwork co-exists along its sister-parachain @MoonriverNW which was launched on the @kusamanetwork in June 2021.

(2/9)
. @MoonriverNW is an independent parachain providing real economic conditions on #Kusama. It may be used as an experimental environment to test dApps before deploying them to #Moonbeam. Meanwhile, dApps that require Moonbeam security can be deployed there immediately.

Here's a little thread about $DOT - Polkadot.

Pretty much, Polkadot: "The Blockchain of Blockchains". 🤯

I will leave all the official links at the end. 👇

Please like, retweet & follow if you enjoyed this thread and have learned something from it!

#NFA #DYOR
The idea of @Polkadot was created in 2017, by Dr Gavin Wood (@gavofyork) just after inventing the #Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the infamous 'Solidity' programming language.
@Polkadot is the first "Layer 0" #blockchain that can connect multiple "Layer 1" blockchains to itself. They aim to create a unified network of blockchains that can be built and connected.

Do you know the differences between #Polkadot and #Kusama?
Let explore the matter to understand how Kusama plays a very important role in the development of #Dotsama ecosystem and is, in itself, much more than a testnet.

1/19
Although they share many parts of their code, #Polkadot and #Kusama are independent networks with different priorities.
Kusama is wild and fast, great for experimentation and early-stage deployment. Polkadot is more conservative, prioritizing stability and dependability.

2/19
1. Points in common:
#Kusama was released as an early version of the same code to be used in #Polkadot sharing the same underlying architecture: a multichain, heterogeneously-sharded design based on Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS).

Let´s talk about @Kiltprotocol $KILT, an open source BC protocol for issuing decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials who intends to become the identity solution for Web 3.0 Currently running in #Kusama plans to get a Parachain slot in #Polkadot.

1/14
$KILT is a decentralized blockchain protocol for issuing self-sovereign, anonymous and verifiable credentials, enabling trust market business models in Web 3. KILT’s mission is to return control over personal data to its owner, restoring privacy to the individual.

2/14
Internet users need to register for using services. If those services become successful, they accumulate millions of logins and often collect data on users. This leads to three major problems:

1. The data silos are honeypots for hackers and thus a high security risk.
