💥Gavin Wood: In my mind, Elastic scaling can be a significant factor in unlocking Polkadot’s tokenomics.
Right now, each of the ~45 parachains gets 1 core, demand = supply = price trends toward zero.
But that’s about to flip.
Chains like @playmythical, @peaq, and @Unique_NFTchain are ready to pay for more cores — faster txs, lower gas, better UX.
Soon, a chain could rent 10 cores. Maybe pay 10x.👀
That unlocks real demand — and real value for DOT.
ETA? Late August or early September, per @alice_und_bob's latest livestream.
The upgrade’s coming. And it’s a turning point.🕶️
