Elastic Scaling, the final piece of Polkadot 2.0, is live!Polkadot Rollups → up to 3× more performant ⚡️→ Async Backing: Increases throughput by 10X.→ Agile Coretime: Rent blockspace for up to 28 days.→ Elastic Scaling: Use as much dedicated blockspace as you need. https://t.co/Q6DzP1gWvf ...

RT Parity Technologies (@paritytech)Elastic Scaling is now live on @Polkadot 🚀Introducing vertical scalability for rollups, enabling parachain teams to handle growing demand more efficiently and deliver a user experience very close to Web2 for end-users.Let’s unpack what this means for builders 🧵👇 https://t.co/7RlmvxvAkH ...

RT The White Rabbit (@thewhiterabbitM)Open Fellowship October 2025 UpdateTL;DR for Devs & Community1. Elastic Scaling live- Feature approved, validators are updating nodes.- Small fraction of nodes still on old version → they are ignored by the network, no slashing currently.- Goal: faster blocks, optimized CPU usage.- Parachains can now scale elastically, choosing latency vs resources without waste.2. Block production / 500ms blocks- Testing 500ms blocks on single cores while maintaining chain continuity.- ...

Technology & Scalability - Parity Technologies 的 Elastic Scaling 技术正在被 peaqnetwork 测试，用于处理大规模流量 [1] - Polkadot 的异步支持也在测试中，以提升性能 [1] - 未来将实现更高的 TPS（每秒交易量）和更快的区块时间 [2] - 通过增加 Core 可以提升 TPS，应对大型活动带来的流量高峰 [3]

Technology & Scalability - Peaq is testing its architecture using Polkadot's Elastic Scaling & Asynchronous Backing [1] - With one click, a Core can be added to handle more traffic, enabling Elastic Scaling for events needing more TPS (Transactions Per Second) [1] - Peaq acknowledges Parity Technologies & Dr Gavin Wood for their understanding of scaling in Web3 [1] - TPS and block time are expected to improve in the future [1]

So, wen Polkadot 2.0?Polkadot 2.0 has three core technical pillars:→ Async Backing ✅ Boosts rollup throughput.→ Agile Coretime ✅ Allocates coretime on a rental basis.→ Elastic Scaling 🔜 Rollups dynamically scale up their compute power.The passing of Referendum 1721 will enable the RFC103 runtime, which will be enacted on Monday September 8th.Once enacted, the Relay Chain Elastic Scaling feature is complete!Ref 1721 is currently passing with 100% AYE vote. ...

Technology & Scalability - Polkadot 2.0 unlocks elastic scaling capabilities [1] - Multi-core processing and lower latency are achieved [1] - Seamless rollups are enabled [1] - Kusama network has proven the technology, and Polkadot is next [1] Development & Implementation - Parity Technologies is actively developing and implementing the elastic scaling update [1] - RFC103 is live following referendum 569 and a week of flawless operation [1] Milestones - The elastic scaling update is a huge milestone for Polkadot 2.0 [1]

Blockchain Scalability Challenges - Blockchains need to evolve beyond simply adding more capacity, focusing on efficient blockspace scheduling and allocation [1] - Current economic security models in many blockchains are overpaid, with resources wasted on producing empty blocks before demand exists [1] - Demand spikes lead to fee spikes, causing user drop-off, as seen with Ethereum NFT mania ($3,000 per transaction) and Bitcoin Ordinals [2] Elastic Scaling Solutions - Cloud infrastructure's elastic scaling, which scales up during demand surges and down when demand decreases, offers a solution for blockchain scalability [2] - Polkadot's execution cores and Agile Coretime allow for real-time reassignment and on-demand renting of blockspace [2] - Elastic scaling enables spinning up a chain for short-term events, similar to cloud computing principles [3] Approaches to Dynamic Blockspace Management - Solana uses dynamic block limits and QUIC/Agave for burst handling [4] - Avalanche subnets allow for spinning up new network space [4] - NEAR Nightshade shards more as traffic increases [4] - Ethereum Layer 2 solutions batch more transactions or compress them better [4]

Blockchain Technology - Blockchains should prioritize speed during printing rather than continuous high speed [1] - The industry should focus on optimizing the critical code for real-time decisions, similar to high-frequency trading systems [1]

Polkadot优势 - Polkadot 被设计为原生支持 Rollup 的区块链 [1] - Polkadot 的协议原生互操作性使应用程序能够开箱即用地进行可信协作 [1] - Polkadot 提供共享安全，每个链都继承了中继链的完整安全性，无需引导自己的验证器集 [3] 技术特性 - Polkadot 提供 110 MB/s 的数据可用性 (DA) 吞吐量，这意味着应用程序可以获得更多的带宽 [1] - 在 Spammening 期间，Kusama 网络使用其一小部分潜力达到了 143,000 TPS [2] - Polkadot 具有弹性扩展能力，允许 Rollup 根据需求利用多个核心，在需要时扩展，不需要时节省 [2]
