The Astar blockchain network in Japan supports @Polkadot's Agile Coretime, marking the complete end of the DOT slot auction era. With the ability to purchase coretime (core represents a group of validators) at a lower cost, even small teams can afford to start without the previously high capital (token) costs associated with slot occupancy. It's particularly similar to the server model in cloud computing, where you pay for what you use—less usage means lower payments.
Agile Coretime is a core component of the Polkadot 2.0 upgrade, introducing a more flexible resource allocation mechanism that replaces the traditional static auction and leasing models.
Astar is completing a major upgrade within the @Polkadot ecosystem using Agile Coretime, a flexible model for reserving execution capacity.
It replaces our legacy parachain lease system enabling sustainable scaling without upfront lockups or rigid commitments. 🧵👇
