Polkadot Knowledge Map 🚀

GETTING STARTED 🌟

No matter your level of familiarity with blockchain development, we are here to get you started and ready to become a Polkadot Ninja! 🥋

A structured learning pathway with consolidated resources is made available for you to go through at your own pace. Read and watch all that has been provided to help you gain a better understanding of what awaits you in the Dotsama ecosystem! 🌐📚

WHAT IS POLKADOT? 🔍

Polkadot is a layer-0 protocol and multichain network founded by Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum. Polkadot provides security, scalability, and interoperability to a diverse network of layer-1 blockchains called parachains. Polkadot offers several advancements over legacy blockchain networks, from governance to customization, upgradeability, energy efficiency, and more. 🛡️⚡🔗

WHAT IS KUSAMA? 🎨

Built on nearly the same codebase as Polkadot, Kusama is a layer-0 protocol and multichain network. Kusama provides security, scalability, and interoperability to a diverse network of layer-1 blockchains called parachains, and serves as Polkadot’s ‘canary net’. Designed for radical innovation and experimentation, Kusama is used both as a live, value-bearing proving ground for Polkadot technology and as a deployment environment for early-stage startups and experimental blockchain use cases. 🚀🧪

WHAT IS SUBSTRATE? 🛠️

Substrate is a blockchain development framework for building and customizing parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem, as well as standalone or ‘solo’ chains. It features a completely generic state transition function and modular building blocks for common blockchain components like consensus, networking, and asset creation. By building with Substrate, development teams can significantly speed up production, reduce the cost of building a blockchain, and get much more power and flexibility than building on a smart contract platform. ⚙️🏗️

Bifrost 🌉

Bifrost is a Polkadot and Kusama parachain designed to provide liquidity for staked assets. It aims to enable users to hedge against the opportunity cost of staking on Polkadot and Kusama networks while maintaining liquidity of their staked assets. Bifrost is known for its derivative solutions, such as vTokens, which are designed to be versatile and can be used in multiple DeFi protocols.

Bifrost Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) 💧

Bifrost’s Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) are derivative tokens that represent staked assets on the Polkadot and Kusama networks. When users stake their DOT or KSM through Bifrost, they receive vDOT or vKSM respectively. These vTokens can be used across various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms while still earning staking rewards. This mechanism allows users to unlock the liquidity of their staked assets without sacrificing the staking rewards, providing flexibility and enhancing the capital efficiency of their portfolios.

Key Features of Bifrost LSTs:

  • Liquidity: Users can maintain liquidity of their staked assets, allowing them to participate in other DeFi activities.
  • Staking Rewards: vTokens continue to accrue staking rewards, similar to the original staked assets.
  • DeFi Integration: vTokens are compatible with various DeFi protocols, enabling users to maximize the utility of their staked assets.
  • Hedging: Users can hedge against the price volatility of staked assets by leveraging the liquidity of vTokens.
