Weekly news from Kusama&Polkadot #22
1. Nodle wins the 11th auction on Polkadot
Nodle is the winner of the 11th parachain auction on Polkadot by locking over 2,47M DOT in the crowdloan. But it wasn’t an easy win at all, Equilibrium had only just around 200k DOT less. So with that said. we expect Equilibrium to become the winner of the next 12th auction.
What is Nodle?
Nodle is the decentralized IoT network of Polkadot, that provides secure and low-cost connectivity, an additional layer of security by certifying and authenticating smart devices. It also provides data liquidity to billions of IoT devices. All that is powered by smartphones and enabling to earn NODL (Nodle Cash) as passive income.
Nodle is using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless interface and will support any existing or arising wireless protocol in the future. Any other blockchain ecosystem interoperable with Polkadot will then benefit from the IoT services operated on the Nodle Chain.
2. Moonbeam Foundation self-funded another parachain slot for Moonriver
For the first time in Kusama’s history, an unknown parachain has won a parachain auction. This parachain also didn't run any crowdloan. For a surprise of many, the Moonbeam Foundation then announced that they officially secured Moonriver’s next parachain slot on Kusama.
Moonriver will not produce blocks on the new parachain until the network has switched over to the new slot. With a self-funded slot acquisition, the Moonbeam Foundation is able to direct existing MOVR reserves to be used for initiatives that help increase activity and adoption on Moonriver, including grants and developer support.
