DOTUSD
Polkadot / United States dollar
crypto Composite

It’s marketing budget. Having one of the biggest names in sport wearing flying your flag seems like good use of funds to me.
Sorry you bought DOT at $25usd. Stake and forget it.

*K-Shaped Economy and K-Shaped Crypto Bull Market* /s
The top are doing fine:
- BTC, BNB, XRP, TRON up from 2021
- Stablecoins up 200% in marketcap
- Some other big ones like ETH and SOL only down like -20%
The bottom are struggling:
- The vast majority of Alts from 2021 (ADA, DOT, DOGE, AVAX, LINK, MATIC, CRO, HBAR, ALGO, etc) are down -60% to -90% begging for Altseason and big rate cuts hoping for scraps

POWELL: "EARINGS IN AI JUSTIFIED - CLEARLY NOT SIMILAR TO DOT COM"

OH YEAH LETS BRING UP DOT COM HOW BOUT 1929 NEXT

Polkadot Made Easy: How to Unstake your DOT with the Staking Dashboard (Direct Nomination)

Lol the attempt at shilling DOT here is admirable but I’m not sure anyone is ever going to buy those bags man 😂

Building data-heavy apps hits the same wall everywhere: chains bloat with state, validators choke on storage, off-chain solutions flake during peaks.
Polkadot JAM's Data Availability Layer solves this by making data immediately accessible within cores but globally propagated over time, no chain bloat, no centralized trust.
How it works:
During Refine (parallel execution), your service writes data blobs with no size limits. Erasure coding splits blobs into chunks with redundancy, validators store headers and proofs, not full data. Random sampling verifies availability without full replication.
Data expires after one block unless renewed via fees, ephemeral writes slash costs 90% versus permanent on-chain storage. Need it globally? Propagates across validator sets over 1-N blocks for cross-core access.
Builder advantages:
- AI training: Shard datasets across cores, verify via proofs, federated learning at exabyte scale.
- DeFi: Store order books off-chain, anchor hashes for audits.
- Gaming: Handle massive asset data without state bloat.
- DePIN: Process millions of sensor streams affordably.
Unlike Ethereum's 64KB blob limits or Celestia's siloed approach, JAM's DA integrates natively with execution, reads feel instant, writes stay cheap, security inherits from 700+ validators staking $5B+ DOT.
Test on upcoming JAM testnets Q4 2025. Join JAM Prize (10M DOT) for DA innovations.

I swapped all my ADA and DOT right before the crash to SOL. Im BTC maxi as well but SOL has been the only one I have been adding every month.

>Node operators earn rewards directly from carrier fees, not emissions.... redeemable in [$DOT](https://x.com/search?q=%24DOT&src=cashtag_click), BTC, ETH, ADA, WMTx, and MNTx.
It's most probable those DOTs are market bought with real revenue.

I haven’t seen any proposal listed for this in OpenGov, so I don’t believe that’s the case. It could be something coming directly from W3F. Since I haven’t seen it mentioned elsewhere, I can’t say for certain.
Also, the Treasury currently has [over $90M](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/) in it and still receives more than 49,000 DOT per day. Definitely not empty. But again, I don’t believe the Treasury is funding this at all.
