Polkadot [DOT] has rolled out its native smart contracts hub, a big step for the network. Has this influenced the native token’s price at all?
The network rolled out a major runtime upgrade that introduced its native smart contracts hub, aimed at making the network faster and easier to use.
According to the team, the update was designed to improve how apps feel on Polkadot, with quicker transaction confirmations and smoother user flows that are closer to Web2-style experiences.
For developers, the focus moves from complex protocol work to building actual products, with shorter iteration cycles and simpler tooling.
The upgrade will bring changes to Polkadot’s token economics, including a fixed maximum supply of 2.1 billion DOT and lower inflation over time.
