“By partnering with Bison Trails, we can offer customers an easy way to participate in Proof-of-Stake networks such as Polkadot (DOT),”— Sam McIngvale, CEO of Coinbase Custody, explained the advantages of the deal.

The core network of the Polkadot project, which is being developed by co-founder Ethereum Gavin Wood, is due to be launched this year.

In October 2017, the project raised $ 145 million through the ICO, and after the completion of the private token sale, its capitalization increased to $ 1.2 billion.

In February 2020, Polkadot entered into a partnership with Coinbase and announced the distribution of tokens.

Recall that in December Coinbase became a leader inthe volume of assets involved in the staking of the Tezos cryptocurrency. By the end of the first quarter, the number of coins reserved by the site for these purposes exceeded 65 million XTZ.
