This is not an April Fools joke
Here are the biggest brands using the @Polkadot eco today

Walmart
Home Depot
P*rnHub
Inter Miami
GS1 Standards
BlackRock
Indonesia
And so much more
Exciting year ahead, mass adoption is almost here๐ซก
Said another way
Polkadotโs multichain DeFi eco has grown 230% in the last 6 months
Cosmos has regressed by almost 50% in the same amount of time
Polkadot is growing exponentially as Cosmos shrinks
Coincidence, or a trend?
Comparing cross-chain transaction volume:
Cosmos
IBC transaction volume:
- Dec 2024 3.5B $
- July 2025 1.8B $
Polkadot
XCM transaction volume:
- Dec 2024 90M $
- July 2025 297M $
Polkadot will keep going up here with DeFi initiatives on @hydration_net, @Bifrost & @StellaSwap.
Plus growing interoperability with @_snowbridge & @hyperbridge.
This is how DOT flowed through the Polkadot Treasury in Q2, as per the @alice_und_bob report (which I encourage all DAO members to read, you can find it in the Polkadot Forum).
Key takeaways:
โ Bounties & Collectives handled 25 % (~ $7 M) of Q2 spend (up from 19 %). This will hopefully continue to rise in Q3.
โ $2.7 M in Claims on future payments due by December 2025.
โ Tommi: "Thanks to the recently changed inflation model, the Treasuryโs long-term perspective has become very stable."
I am looking at $WUD, the nr1 memecoin on Polkadot.
With Bloomberg analysts giving a 90% odds of approval for dot ETFs, I think there is a good early opportunity here.
Currently at $2M mcap, ath of $7m - there's a lot of room for growth.
100% diluted, no inflation at all, strong community cult following , its own game and ai agent.
For who's interested, it's available on Hydration dex.
@gavunwud , $wud , $dot
Lmao you go from taking down bad actors to becoming a commentator on transparent and community driven spending
DOT holders voted yes for this, everyone could vote based on their opinion of the spend. And itโs deeper than a traditional โsports teamโ sponsorship
Kind of a sad take and poorly researched take from someone I respected
My lawd the prophecy is being fulfilled
Polkadotโs DeFi scene will rise even further and swallow everything
$TRAC now live and tradeable ๐ช

This is one of the biggest issues with the Ethereum foundation and generally ethereum elitists
They have this delusion of grandeurโฆand honestly who knows why
Canโt argue a point without getting emotional and simply block or mute when challenged
Would love to see it change
Bull or bear market
Polkadot eco metrics have been up and to the right
๐ดTVL over $350 million through the eco
๐ดActive accounts at ATH
๐ดAt the top of gaming and AI metrics
๐ดPolkadot 2.0 and JAM imminent
Ngl though feels much nicer in a real bull tho
Coiled and ready
Excellent move by Polkadot to change the pfp
Free exposure to associate with Pudgy and get people to have the brand back in their minds with some of the top brands in the space
Massive
Social media board on point ๐ฅ
