polkadot VS solidity

Polkadot (6400 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot

I don't think asynchronous backing has any direct effect on the number of parachains, no (I mean, there likely is an effect, but it's not the goal and my understanding is that any effect on that would be minimal, although I'm not involved in the deep engineering here). It increases throughput, correct, by decreasing the time between blocks by not needing to do a "roundtrip" to the relay chain to build new blocks. See https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/3779 for an overview.

"The 27 waiting day is unavoidable and a very important security measure to protect against certain attacks and vulnerabilities of PoS. I totally understand that it is annoying, but arguably it is for the benefit+security of the overall network, which includes you as well at the end of the day as DOT-holder." - from this GitHub discussion.

Polkadot 0.9.37 has been released with MEDIUM upgrade priority. https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases/tag/v0.9.37

Specifically, it was this PR that changed it: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6230

Actually it looks like you can! It's just not recommended. This is from the official documentation: "Starting with runtime version v23 natively included in the client version 0.8.23, payouts can go to any custom address. If you'd like to redirect payments to an account that is neither the controller nor the stash account, set one up. Note that setting an exchange address as the recipient of the staking rewards is extremely unsafe.*

A particular validator sent out a LOT of dispute reports (i.e., saying that other validators did something incorrectly) last night (for reasons unknown). It looks like other nodes "choked" reading all of these disputes, and one subsystem died, stalling nodes but NOT killing the process. It's still being investigated, but you can look at the issue on Github to see it being discussed here: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/6412

Have a basic understanding of Solidity.

Solidity Solidity emerged as the first-ever programming language for smart contracts and remains the most extensively utilized language in the Web3 space due to its first-mover advantage. It serves as the primary language for developing applications today on Ethereum and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchains, including Binance Smart Chain and Tron.

Solidity - Smart contract programming language.

The cool part is that the entire feedback process employs its own factory contract written in Solidity, without requiring you to create or maintain your own smart contract.

Inconsistent gas usage for conversion of calldata to memory in external call and internal call. · Issue #14444 · ethereum/solidity (github.com)

There is a new PUSH0 opcode that allows to directly push 0 onto the EVM stack. You can checkout the change log here - https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/releases/tag/v0.8.20

In this article, we’ll explore what makes Linea so exciting. Then, we’ll walk through a tutorial on how to build a dapp on the Linea testnet. Finally, we’ll create our own cryptocurrency on Linea using Solidity, MetaMask, and Truffle: all mature ecosystem tools that are used by blockchain developers to build dapps.
