Polkadot

Within its ecosystem, Polkadot serves as Polkadot native asset and participates in relay chain security. Its technical context includes parachain shared security, XCM cross-chain messaging, and staking and nomination, but none of those functions should be inferred for a similarly named contract. Material developments for Polkadot range from protocol upgrades and contract migrations to listings, delistings, regulatory treatment, issuer actions, and revisions affecting OpenGov governance system. Applications keep their own entries unless ownership or use of Polkadot, particularly through OpenGov governance system, is the direct subject.
