Polkadot, a sharded blockchain protocol co-founded by British computer scientist Gavin Wood, has announced that its much-awaited parachain auctions will commence in November.
The tentative date for the first auction is Nov. 11 after the Polkadot Council voted in favor of Motion 118, inching closer to a May 15 all-time high of $49.35.
The proposal for parachain auctions has now gone to a public referendum that is going to last for six more days.
The price of Polkadot (DOT) has spiked by more than 12 percent on the announcement.
According to co-founder Robert Habermeier, Polkadot’s code has been fully audited, which was the final step before kicking off the rollout of parachains.
The term “parachain,” which is a portmanteau of “parallelizable” and “blockchain,” denotes sovereign layer-1 networks that are connected to the relay chain. Parachains will potentially allow ensuring interoperability between hundreds of separate blockchains with different purposes.
In order to secure coveted parachain slots, a slew of projects has to compete through the auction process. Each auction on Polkadot lasts seven days. Winners will be assigned a parachain slot for eight 12-week lease periods.
Kusama, Polkadot’s sister network that performs the role of a test environment, successfully held its very first batch of parachain auctions in June and July, with decentralized finance project Karura becoming the very first winner.
In late August, the “canary network” announced five additional auctions. source (https://cryptonews.net/2220353/?utm_source=CryptoNews&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=shared)

Polkadot will be able to continue to grow with the times because Gavin Wood, the founder of Polkadot, really understands how to stay on the right blockchain because Gavin Wood is also experienced in Ethereum.
Parachains developed by Polkadot will definitely feel very good if we can move various different coins in one Polkadot blockchain which can certainly minimize transaction costs.

Polkadot can go up in price like this because of course I think behind all this is because Gavin Woods the founder who is loyal to the coin he created and of course Gavin Woods has a super large reserve of coins to support the price of Polkadot.
Anticipation of dump prices must be from Polkadot but so far it seems like Polkadot is a super coin, very good to invest in the long term. This is only my opinion for Polkadot coin .
