There’s a new player in town when it comes to cryptocurrency app development, and it’s called Polkadot. The crypto platform is proving itself to be the first choice for developers, drawn to its flexibility and its fast-growing community.
Recent reports have claimed Polkadot saw a 44 percent increase in developer activity for the 12 months ending in May, while Bitcoin and Ethereum both saw modest declines. Blockchain gaming, crypto wallets, and security solutions are among the projects already making use of the Polkadot platform.
One of the main ways that Polkadot differentiates itself from other crypto platforms is that it doesn’t operate apps through smart contracts, instead of allowing developers to build their own blockchains.
