🚨 Most people still think Polkadot is about slot auctions and 2-year leases.

But the reality now is very different.

The Polkadot Wiki was just updated to reflect how the network actually works in 2025 and it’s a major shift 👇

➠No more slot auctions.
➠No more fixed cores.
➠No more wasted blockspace.

Now it’s all about coretime — modular, on-demand, and flexible: ➠Share cores between chains
➠ Scale across multiple cores instantly
➠Interlace usage to save costs
➠ Buy or sell coretime like cloud compute

It’s a complete redesign of how blockspace is allocated, based on real-time demand and performance, not outdated leases.

This is what asynchronous backing + elastic scaling makes possible.

Explore it for yourself through the updated Polkadot wiki link: ( comments 👇)

The architecture is live. The docs are ready.
Now the builders can run with it. ⭕
