Polkadot Cloud Unveiled: Your Launchpad to the Web3 Revolution
Jul 13, 2025
Introduction
The Polkadot ecosystem is proud to announce the launch of Polkadot Cloud, a groundbreaking platform that redefines the possibilities of web3 infrastructure. Building on Polkadot’s legacy of interoperability, Polkadot Cloud extends its capabilities to support a wide range of web3 applications and services, from decentralized execution to robust data storage.
This inaugural blog post introduces Polkadot Cloud, highlighting its advanced features, unparalleled scalability, and commitment to empowering developers and enterprises worldwide. Join us as we explore how Polkadot Cloud is shaping the future of decentralized innovation.
A Next-Generation Platform for Web3
Polkadot Cloud marks a significant evolution of the Polkadot network, transitioning from a blockchain-focused protocol to a comprehensive platform for web3 applications. Designed to meet the demands of modern decentralized ecosystems, it offers an array of services, including:
Decentralized Execution: Run code securely across a distributed network.
Data Availability: Store and access up to 2 petabytes of data with reliability.
Object Storage and Blockchain Hosting: Support for diverse workloads, from dApps to enterprise solutions.
Smart Contract Deployment: Seamless integration for programmable transactions.
With over 1,000 validators and a Nakamoto Coefficient exceeding 300, Polkadot Cloud ensures robust security and resilience, making it a trusted foundation for projects of all scales. Its infrastructure, powered by 341 cores, can process over 1 million transactions per second, positioning it as a leader in web3 scalability.
Empowering Developers with Cutting-Edge Tools
Polkadot Cloud is designed to streamline development, making web3 accessible to both blockchain experts and traditional developers. At its core is the Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM), built on RISC-V, which delivers near-native performance and cost-efficient gas metering.
Whether you’re creating a decentralized finance platform, a supply chain solution, or a next-generation social network, Polkadot Cloud empowers you to bring your vision to life with ease and efficiency.
Flexible Resource Allocation with Coretime
To support projects of varying sizes, Polkadot Cloud introduces Coretime, a flexible model for allocating blockspace. Developers can opt for parathreads for cost-effective, on-demand access, ideal for smaller or sporadic workloads, or secure dedicated parachains for high-performance applications. This adaptability, powered by the Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM), ensures that Polkadot Cloud meets the needs of startups, enterprises, and everything in between, optimizing resources without compromising performance.
A Community-Driven Vision
Polkadot Cloud is built to be “secure, scalable, and resilient,” but it’s also a collaborative effort. The Polkadot community—spanning developers, researchers, and innovators—plays a pivotal role in shaping the platform’s future.
Through active discussions on the Polkadot Forum (forum.polkadot.network) and the Watercooler on Element, we invite you to contribute ideas, share feedback, and join us in building a decentralized ecosystem that drives global innovation.
