THREAD/ @Polkadot in 2020 —By the Numbers
As 2020 comes to a close, let’s take a look at some #Polkadot network and ecosystem stats from the first year of its launch.
As 2020 comes to a close, let’s take a look at some #Polkadot network and ecosystem stats from the first year of its launch.
Polkadot launched May 26, 2020, but that doesn’t mean @Polkadot development has slowed.
In 2020, 68,778 lines of code were added to Polkadot, and 130,226 lines of code were added to @substrate_io, @ParityTech's blockchain framework that Polkadot is built upon.

Some of that development went into the 18 on-chain runtime upgrades @Polkadot saw this year, powered by @substrate_io's forkless upgrade mechanism.
But of course, @Polkadot is a whole ecosystem of development. There are over 900 GitHub repos tagged with #Polkadot.
One of the most exciting aspects of watching the @Polkadot network grow is seeing the Polkadot-ready blockchains in development. At the end of 2020 there are 100+ Polkadot-ready blockchains, with 60+ live test networks.
This development is aided by infrastructure, tooling, and integrations. In 2020, 30+ such products launched, with 60+ more in the works.
The @Polkadot Treasury supports network and community development.
In 2020, 23 proposals received Treasury funding, cumulatively receiving 118,465.63 #DOT
. At the end of 2020, the Polkadot Treasury held ~10,205,300 DOT.

And of course no snapshot of the @Polkadot network would be complete without looking at staking.
As of EOY 2020, there are over 550 validators and 7,000 nominators, and over 60% of DOT staked.

Any interesting stats to add? Please comment!
