What Is The Driving Force Behind $DOTs Growth?
Polkadot is famous for its interoperability and its significant contributions to decentralized applications. Polkadots community is currently considering a proposal for a new bridge to enhance its interoperability with Cardano, which sent waves of excitement through both communities and is reflected in the prices of $ DOT and $ ADA.
While the project's feasibility is still under discussion, the aim is to address interoperability issues that remain prevalent in the crypto industry. Talks of the new bridge come just days after the activation of SnowBridge, a Polkadot-Ethereum bridge, on June 20. SnowBridge uses first-party signatures from Ethereum and Polkadot validators, resulting in a transparent, permissionless and auditable process.
