The journey from Polkadot 1.0 to 2.0 is marked by milestones in decentralization, such as the 1000th governance proposal in July 2024 and the approval of Referendum #747, which defined the technical advancements of Polkadot 2.0. Enhanced by initiatives like OpenGov and onchain treasury, Polkadot fosters an inclusive environment for users and developers alike. Alongside these upgrades, a revamped branding initiative ensures user-friendliness through an intuitive website, clearer messaging, and a refreshed visual identity. These efforts reflect Polkadot’s commitment to lowering barriers to entry and aligning its growth with the aspirations of its community.
