- Today in addition
- Coretime instead of slot auctions, Polkadot Hub with EVM contracts.
- Notable

Contract address
Polkadot — its own chain, no contract.
The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

Where the price stands today between its two endpoints — logarithmic, because orders of magnitude lie in between.
The four cycles
Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.
