Polkadot sets new NFT mint speed record

Polkadot (DOT) recently set a new record when it comes to the speed of minting non-fungible tokens (NFTs), according to the latest information shared with Finbold. 

The massive mint was completed on Polkadot’s parachain, Unique Network, and created 4930 NFTs each minute. In total, the blockchain went through three batches of 100,000 new non-fungible tokens as part of the comprehensive speed and efficacy test.

Polkadot hopes that the layer-0’s performance will position it as an attractive network for Web3 gaming projects and will introduce Web2-type instant gratification to its users.

Commenting on the achievement, the CEO of Unique Network, Aleksandar Mitrovic, expressed his enthusiasm for Polkadot’s abilities:

“Working on Polkadot offers great flexibility. We are free to optimize the code and forklessly upgrade the chain. Our core developers have been waiting for an opportunity to test a series of performance improvement ideas on a large scale.”

The Web3 game that helped set the record

Polkadot’s recent stress test was done by minting hundreds of thousands of Bounty Hunter Tickets (BHTs) NFTs for the Web3 game called Forever Has Fallen. These tokens offer players access to an in-game location called the Hunters Lair.

Kimon Lycos, Founder and CEO of Incite, the Production Studio behind Forever Has Fallen, was especially pleased by the opportunities presented by the blockchain’s speed:

Because our production is first and foremost about fun, we want Web3 elements to be under the hood, and to have this type of speed will enable a Web2 type experience of instant gratification.

Mitrovic was likewise enthusiastic about the fact that working with Forever Has Fallen offers his platform means to utilize its capabilities while presenting ‘a business case that talks to mass consumers.’

Image
A cryptocurrency trading expert has suggested that the ongoing Bitcoin (BTC) sell-off will likely escalate in the coming weeks, noting that the asset is facing a possible capitulation event . In a TradingView post on August 3, analyst Alan Santana noted that this projection is based on a detailed examination of historical price movements and critical technical indicators, which forewarn investors of significant market turbulence ahead. According to the expert, Bitcoin surged past $70,000 on July 29, 2024, but the euphoria was short-lived. The cryptocurrency couldn’t sustain this price level for even 15 minutes, swiftly falling below the mark and trading below $65,000.

After worst ‘Uptober’ Bitcoin now likely to crash to $87,000, warns expert

Image
Bitcoin’s (BTC) bullish ‘Uptober’ reputation was shattered this year after the cryptocurrency ended October with a nearly 4% loss, marking its worst October performance since 2014. Now, according to cryptocurrency analyst and TradingView contributor TradingShot, the weak monthly close may signal the start of a deeper correction, potentially sending Bitcoin toward the $87,000 region in the weeks ahead. Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: Finbold The analyst pointed to a fractal pattern mirroring Bitcoin’s price action between December 2024 and February 2025. During that period, BTC rejected a descending trendline, lost its higher-lows support structure, and ultimately fell roughly 32% from its all-time high.  The recent move, marked by a rejection at the 1-day 50-day moving average (MA), resistance on a descending highs trendline, and stalling at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement, closely resembles that earlier setup. Notably, since mid-August, Bitcoin has made ...

Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC’s Seven-Year ‘Uptober’ Streak Shattered By Macro Jitters, ETF Outflows

Image
The Bitcoin price tumbled 4% in October, breaking its seven-year ‘Uptober’ streak as ETF outflows, profit-taking, and macro jitters weighed on the market. An Analysis by Fortune showed it was Bitcoin’s fourth-worst October performance since 2013 and the worst in the past seven years. That left BTC trailing the S&P 500 stock index, which rose 2.3%. The sell-off came as more than $550 million flowed out of major Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs late in the month, with analysts saying profit-taking also played a part as Bitcoin treasury firms, including Michael Saylor’s Strategy, also slowed their BTC buying. We just experienced the first red October in 7 years! We also had an historic liquidation in October! UPTOBER was a fraud, but MOONVEMBER?? imho; if you can, DCA more! if you can’t, DO NOT panic sell your bags for cheap!
