Kusama’s 2026 Reset: 10,000,000 DOT Is Now Funding the Next Wave of Experiments
I’ve been asking myself what Kusama is really for in 2026, and this update finally made it click. 10,000,000 DOT has now been activated to fund 24 months of fearless experimentation on Kusama, across Proof of Personhood, Zero Knowledge, and Art plus Social Experiments. In this thread, I broke down what it means, what each bounty is targeting, and how builders and creators can apply directly to the curators. Link: https://x.com/i/status/2021498573524017396

Understanding Polkadot’s 2025 Choices
I used this thread to reflect on Gavin Wood’s 2025 Polkadot roundup from my own perspective. Instead of listing features or milestones, I focused on the deliberate decisions Polkadot made last year. The work around reducing complexity, restructuring the core, and laying foundations that only reveal their value with time and how 2025 is a year that will make more sense in hindsight, with 2026 being where those choices start to show their weight.
