Deloitte Taps Polkadot Ecosystem's Kilt Blockchain for Digital Shipping Logistics
One of the most notable partnerships for Polkadot is with the Web3 Foundation, a Swiss non-profit organization that promotes the development and adoption of decentralized technologies. The Web3 Foundation was the organization that created Polkadot, and has provided funding for research and development to over 70 projects on the blockchain.

SVM on Polkadot/Kusama
If you (or anyone else reading this) are interested in building it, that sounds like a cool project to apply for a Web3 Foundation Grant or via the Decentralized Futures program!

There are 43 active parachains on Polkadot, not counting private ones, and 130 total announced projects headed for parachain status. When is the relay chain going to be upgraded to handle more than 100 parachains?
Add a sub-consensus mechanism (there is an RFP out for this)

There are some Substrate-based chains, such as Aleph Zero, already using alternative consensus systems to have block times of around a second. There's also an RFP that I worked on last year looking for people to work on it for a W3F grant.

Bill Laboon AMA - 2 Sept 13.00 - 14.00 UTC (1-year anniversary! 🎂)
I received a similar question in the last AMA. I'm going to copy and paste my answer from there.. ...there are quite a few projects which are a bit different or are C2C focused, even aside from the ones you mentioned (e.g. Subsocial). For example,Totem Accounting's KAPEX parachain which allows for on-chain recorded accounting. Robonomics allows you to control real-world hardware via its parachain (I've taken a few pictures of different nebulae and minted NFTs from them by controlling a telescope via Robonomics Network). Zeitgeist is developing prediction markets. Of course, if you still see a hole in the market, we'd be happy if you want to build it. We have several different funding sources to help you do so.

Crowdloans are starting to look scammy
As far as we are aware, Zeitgeist and Basilisk are still shipping quality code. We've looked into Zeitgeist latest update (20 hours ago) and it seems that they are getting ready for reward distributions due to the inclusion of the rewards pallet version 0.6.0
