Polkadot is an innovative blockchain technology designed to connect multiple specialized blockchains into a single, unified network. It aims to achieve true interoperability and scalability by enabling different blockchains to communicate, share data, and process transactions seamlessly. This approach enhances the functionality and efficiency of individual blockchains while maintaining high security and decentralization. Polkadot represents a significant advancement in blockchain technology, addressing the limitations of earlier networks and paving the way for a more interconnected and scalable future.
Polkadot is an innovative, multi-chain blockchain platform that enables diverse blockchains to transfer messages and value in a trust-free fashion. Developed by Web3 Foundation, Polkadot aims to enable a completely decentralized web where users are in control. It facilitates an internet where independent blockchains can exchange information and transactions in a trustless way via the Polkadot relay chain.
Polkadot's unique feature is its ability to support multiple chains within a single network, known as parachains. These parachains can have their own tokens and be optimized for specific use cases, yet they benefit from the shared security of the Polkadot network. This makes Polkadot highly flexible and scalable, accommodating a variety of blockchains with different characteristics.
Polkadot 2.0 is an upcoming major upgrade to the Polkadot blockchain network, introducing a more flexible, market-driven system for allocating network resources such as blockspace and computational power. This enables the system to better manage its computational resources based on actual demand, optimizing efficiency. Polkadot 2.0 marks a shift from a chain-focused ecosystem to an application-focused one, opening new horizons for decentralized applications. This makes it simpler, safer, and more economical to scale projects as needed.
Rewards:
Just like a bank gives you interest for keeping your money with them, staking gives you rewards in the form of additional cryptocurrency.
Passive Income:
Once you've staked your cryptocurrency, you can earn rewards without doing anything. This can be seen as a form of passive income.
Network Participation:
Staking plays a vital role in the network in order for a blockchain to work. The more people that participate in staking, the more secure the network become.
Polkadot is staked directly from cold-storage at our custodian Coinbase.
Staking rewards are continuously paid out in the form of new Polkadot.
New Polkadot is continually added to the product, resulting in the additional staking yield being reflected in the ETP's daily price.
This leads to Virtune Staked Polkadot ETP providing exposure to Polkadot with enhanced yield through staking.
We utilize non-custodial staking, which means that we only stake directly from cold storage. This implies that under no circumstances do we transfer cryptocurrencies to any third party outside our control.
Virtune employs a Collateral Agent whose purpose is to protect and represent investors in our products. The cryptocurrencies held in cold storage (offline) at Coinbase are separate from Virtune's balance sheet.
We stake a maximum of 40% of the Polkadot holdings while 60% remains unstaked. This results in the product being freely tradeable without any lock-in period.
Our product is 100% physically backed, meaning that we always store Polkadot with our custodian Coinbase in an amount equal to at least 100% of the value of all our ETPs.
Virtune Staked Polkadot ETP provides exposure to Polkadot through a 100% physically backed and regulated investment product listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Coinbase, the global leader in institutional custody solutions, serves as the custodian for securely storing Polkadot in cold-storage.
This product allows you to expose yourself to Polkadot in as straightforward a manner as trading a stock through your online broker. Your investment in Polkadot is managed alongside your other securities investments. Additionally, the product can be held in your ISK (Investeringssparkonto) or capital insurance, potentially providing tax advantages.
