Polkadot, aka a \u201cblockchain of blockchains,\u201d is thought to be one of the most successful blockchain projects ever. It is aimed to solve the eternal problems of networks such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, providing new possibilities to web3 users and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive into the history and ideas behind the Polkadot project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Polkadot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polkadot is a next-generation protocol that mainly resolves the problem of interoperability. It connects blockchains, allowing them to operate seamlessly together at scale. Polkadot ables to transfer data across previously incompatible networks, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other terms, Polkadot is a blockchain with a core network \u2014 the relay chain, which hosts other blockchains, allowing them to connect and communicate with each other. The project is powered by the native coin DOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea behind Polkadot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Polkadot ecosystem tries to resolve many limitations of modern blockchains, such as scalability, security and of course, interoperability. The idea is even hidden in the project\u2019s name: a polka dot pattern includes multiple dots that form a seamless print. They probably symbolize different blockchains united in the Polkadot network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was conceived in 2016 and it took it a couple of years to materialize. Polkadot\u2019s history is closely associated with Ethereum: its founder is Dr. Gavin Wood, who previously was a core developer of Ethereum, and deployed its smart contract language, Solidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood left Ethereum to build a more sharded blockchain, and in October of 2016, he published Polkadot\u2019s white paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polkadot was officially launched in an \u2018initial\u2019 state in May 2020, and the DOT token hit the market in August. A year later, DOT got recognition and was listed on Coinbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it evolved<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after the launch, validators started joining the network and showing their intention to participate in consensus. Polkadot quickly evolved to become a proof-of-stake (PoS) network in June 2020. A month later, the governance of the chain was transferred into the hands of the DOT holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of today, Polkadot supports 100 parachains, offering developers a great degree of freedom. Polkadot can process 1,000 transactions per second, however, the potential upper limit is 1 million transactions. It is still to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitting the market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOT token is consistently among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by capitalization, according to Coinmarketcap. Its daily trading volumes surge to $6-$7B in peak periods, and indicate a great interest from users who want to participate in the Polkadot ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason for Polkadot\u2019s popularity is cost efficiency. For high-traffic dapps with a large number of users, deploying on Polkadot is expected to be more economical than creating own blockchain or building on top of an existing smart contract platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polkadot has also introduced a range of advanced technology and trading tools to the crypto market, such as staking, and is expected to do more. Currently, Polkadot can boast nearly 145K monthly users \u2014 less than the Ethereum blockchain, but still a lot for a relatively new blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polkadot can offer many unique benefits to entrepreneurs, developers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

users and investors. Its stable and reliable network along with its roadmap look like a promising scenario for the project\u2019s evolution, which will be interesting to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Since digital art in the form of NFTs is gaining more and more popularity, Web3 artists are looking for ways to protect their artworks from counterfeit and illegal use. Let\u2019s see what modern law regulations and digital technologies may help to secure NFT copyrights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFT: an object of exclusive rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFTs are authentic digital assets which can themselves be art objects, or represent real-world artworks (paintings, sculptures, etc.). All transactions and ownership records connected to a certain NFT are kept in the blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intellectual property (IP) rights belong to the creator of this NFT. Authors may sell their artworks to other individuals, and they obtain the right to possess, trade and exhibit them. However, only the creator can make copies, mint and alter his\/her NFT artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of violations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, NFTs can be easy targets for \u201ccopyfraud\u201d and infringement of the creator\u2019s IP. There are several cases of how the NFT owner\u2019s copyrights can be infringed. In some cases, individuals buy an NFT from its creator, and mint it on another blockchain without the author\u2019s permission, passing it off as their own creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another case, an individual simply takes a screenshot of an NFT art, then mints it and records himself in the blockchain as the original author. Other violations can include making unauthorized changes into the original artworks, hacking the blockchain, making illegal copies, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IP in cyberspace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intellectual and digital rights are protected by the law in most countries of the world. In Europe, the author gets copyright protection from the moment of creation, and 70 years after the death. Also, most jurisdictions rely on the principle of automatic copyright protection. These laws can be applied to resolve disputes in cyberspace, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, practice shows that the enforcement of these rights isn\u2019t always evident, especially in the digital space. Moreover, it\u2019s far more difficult to identify and charge the violator on the internet. How can you sue a person who is thousands miles away from you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulation trends in Web3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the digital space has an even larger benefit \u2014 the blockchain. This technology can prevent counterfeiting since it creates ownership rights, and the data on the blockchain is immutable. Blockchain works as a trustworthy, cross-border public database to register works, though the transactions are anonymous and quite hard to track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to protect your NFT from copyright violation is publicity. Non-fungible tokens are as unique as the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. No one will believe an individual who claims he has the original painting, because everyone knows it is kept in the museum. The same with your NFT: the more people are aware it\u2019s yours, the less is the chance of copyright violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, there is growing interest in NFTs from a copyright perspective, as more and more artworks are being traded as digital tokens. Today we still face a lack of clarity about what you get when you buy an NFT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s believed that the blockchain technology will not only become an appropriate tool to register artworks in cyberspace, but also improve this process in real life.<\/p>\n","post_title":"What The Law?
