Observing Polkadots Ecological Development Introduction of the Polkadot Ecosystem Resource Center and the New Polkadot Ledger Application

1. Observation and Viewpoints
First, let’s look at the situation of slot auctions. Polkadot is currently conducting its 74th slot auction, and Ava Protocol is currently leading with 52.86% of the blocks.


The Polkadot Ecosystem Resource Center is now online! This is an open marketing tool center for the Polkadot community, including brand assets, information dissemination, social media guidelines, etc., launched by the project Distractive in the decentralized future plan.
For teams that want to promote their projects and market Polkadot itself, the Ecosystem Resource Center can provide them with valuable resources and tools to achieve their marketing and activity goals. These resources are not just a collection of documents and links, but also a demonstration of the collaboration and collective progress that define the Polkadot community.
The main features of the Polkadot Ecosystem Resource Center are: joint marketing cooperation, access to social media guidelines and joint marketing application forms to obtain marketing support for projects. Distractive aims to provide project teams with announcement support and seamless integration with Polkadot’s ongoing marketing efforts. Brand resources, by leveraging Polkadot’s brand assets (including slides, event brand guidelines, and event banner templates), projects can increase their visibility and reach a wider audience. Main message delivery, creating compelling narratives and information delivery strategies that resonate with the target audience. Easy event planning, Events-in-a-Box is the preferred resource for project teams to plan, organize, fund and promote great events. Get to know the community, stay up-to-date with Polkadot’s event calendar, including all upcoming events coordinated by the Distractive team. Proposals and finance, learn how to submit proposals through OpenGov in the Proposals-in-a-Box section. Transparency and analytics, provide project teams with activity and event transparency reports and optimize strategies.
Overall, the Ecosystem Resource Center is not just an information center, it aims to foster community awareness and collaboration, and drive Polkadot towards its collective vision of a decentralized future. By providing each project with the knowledge and tools they need for development, Distractive is igniting the flame of innovation and progress within the Polkadot ecosystem. Project teams with relevant needs can visit the Distractive official website for more information: https://distractive.xyz/
In addition to providing support to project teams, Polkadot also places great importance on the user experience within the ecosystem.
Last week, Polkadot officially introduced the new Polkadot Ledger application, which marks an important step for the Polkadot ecosystem in terms of user experience and transaction security.
The new Polkadot Ledger application was proposed, supported, and funded by the Polkadot community. By enabling metadata integration and verification, the new Polkadot Ledger application allows users to securely manage their digital assets within the Polkadot ecosystem, all within a unified application. This further promotes secure and seamless interoperability throughout the entire ecosystem.
The application was launched on July 1, 2024, and is now available on Ledger Live for all Ledger devices. At launch, it is fully compatible with Polkadot, Kusama, and all system chains, with compatibility status for other parachains to be updated in a timely manner.
Santi Balaguer from Parity Technologies played an important role in the development of this application and stated, “Polkadot has taken another big step in providing users with secure and seamless interoperability. This new Polkadot Ledger application helps make Polkadot a cohesive ecosystem while adding an extra layer of security for users.”
