#Polkadot Launches Institutional Arm to Bridge Wall Street and Web3

Most blockchains follow the same infrastructure threadline today, built in isolation: • The Rollup • The bridge • The Wallet • The App Layer. Combining these layers can be a hassle, but it measures simplicity and ease. There's one blockchain that does exactly that. 🧵👇

There is a fresh upgrade coming up on @Mantle_Official by Aug. 27, 7 AM UTC, known as the Skadi Mainnet Upgrade. It unlocks so many features, and I am here to share that with you. Skadi is the mainnet upgrade (v1.3.1), mandatory for node operators, and mainly ensures that Mantle fully supports Ethereum’s Prague upgrade, to improve fee estimation, and makes proving state against Ethereum more efficient. ----- 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲? It is an execution-layer upgrade that focuses on making Ethereum faster, safer, and easier to use. Technically, the Skadi Upgrade is adding the following Prague features: • EIP-1153: transient storage • EIP-5656: MCOPY opcode • EIP-6780: SELFDESTRUCT restriction • EIP-7702: SetCode for EOAs • EIP-2935: historical block hashes However, Skadi introduces two important changes: • A new op-node API that helps speed up ZK proof generation. • An update to fee tips so that wallets now see realistic priority fees instead of “zero.” ----- 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗮𝗱𝗶 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀: 1. Better Wallet UX: Sponsored gas, batching, delegated actions, and recovery via EIP-7702. 2. Cheaper Contracts: Transient storage lowers gas for DEXs, liquidations, and complex flows. 3. Safer Contracts: SELFDESTRUCT is restricted, reducing risks and simplifying upgrades. 4. Stronger Infra: Onchain block hashes improve proofs and light clients, and the new op-node API makes ZK proving faster. 5. Better Fees: Priority fee suggestions will reflect real usage, reducing failed transactions. ----- 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲? Statistics: • TVS: ~$2.16B, relatively stable week-over-week. • DA Costs: Minimal, with EigenDA integration continuing to keep posting costs low. • Protocol Revenue: ~$320K for the week, slightly up with rising perps and LST-related activities. • App RCR: Dominated by mETH and derivative projects. • Treasury Runway: Strong, with ~$5.04B assets under management (AUM), ensuring long-term ecosystem growth. • Daily Active Addresses: ~130K average, a marginal increase from last week's data. • Bridge Flows: Net inflows of ~$27M, driven by increased deposits from Ethereum mainnet. What Changes Can We Expect? 1. TVS: ↑ Reason: Easier onboarding due to batching and sponsored gas features, plus cheaper execution, attracting more liquidity. 2. Protocol revenue: ↑ Reason: Lower gas and higher throughput for perps and AMMs could lead to more volume and fees. 3. App concentration (RCR): ↓ concentration, ↑ diversification Reason: Better wallet UX and cheaper contracts make non-DeFi and consumer apps more viable. 4. Daily active addresses (DAU): ↑ Reason: Fewer stuck transactions from accurate tip estimates and smoother flows. 5. Bridge net inflows: ↑ Reason: Stronger confidence from the safety changes with better UX and more user/institution alignment. In conclusion, Skadi keeps Mantle fully aligned with Ethereum’s latest standards, and for developers, this means easier wallet design, cheaper apps, safer contracts, and more reliable infrastructure. For users, it brings lower fees, smoother wallet flows, fewer stuck transactions, safer apps, and access to a wider range of applications. Thanks for reading!
