According to @alice_und_bob, Polkadot 2.0 has delivered elastic scaling for parachains, allowing them to scale compute and data availability up or down on demand, which is a direct capacity upgrade relevant to throughput-sensitive trading strategies, source: @alice_und_bob on X and Parity Technologies on X. The announcement specifies 500ms block times, megabytes of data throughput, and seconds of compute per block are now possible, pointing to materially lower latency and higher block payloads that can influence on-chain activity and fee dynamics on Polkadot parachains, source: @alice_und_bob on X and Parity Technologies on X.
