According to BitMEX Research, setting up their own nodes and connecting to many peers was relatively easy, demonstrating that a tiny minority of node runners can undermine incentive-incompatible transaction relay filters (source: BitMEX Research). According to BitMEX Research, these relay filters are proving unsustainable, analogous to the economically unsustainable surplus block capacity observed from 2009 to 2015 (source: BitMEX Research). According to BitMEX Research, traders should note that practical attempts at relay-layer censorship can be bypassed, making relay policy an unreliable tool for shaping Bitcoin transaction propagation and a risk factor to monitor when evaluating on-chain activity (source: BitMEX Research).

According to @Polkadot, the project maintains a multi-chain Treasury, strategically allocating 15% of its capital on parachains to drive decentralized economic activity and liquidity within its network (source: @Polkadot, 2024-06). For traders, this treasury allocation signals increased on-chain activity, potential for cross-chain yield opportunities, and expanded DeFi applications, which could influence DOT token demand and price momentum as ecosystem incentives attract new projects and users.
