Who copied Polkadot’s tech? 🤔

Polkadot pioneered multi-chain interoperability, parachains, and forkless upgrades. I can't say who copied who, but.. 

Now, chains like $TAO (@opentensor) have leveraged @Polkadot building similar concepts with decentralized AI networks. 

Others are replicating Polkadot’s approach to modular design. 

including
1. Astar (ASTR) – A smart contract platform supporting EVM and WASM, enabling multi-chain dApps.

2. zkLayer – A ZK-rollup parachain leveraging Polkadot’s security and scalability.

3. Moonbeam (GLMR) – Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform for cross-chain dApps.

4. Acala (ACA) – A DeFi hub providing stablecoins, staking, and liquidity solutions.

5. Parallel Finance (PARA) – A decentralized money market and staking platform.

6. Efinity (EFI) – An NFT ecosystem built by Enjin for cross-chain digital asset interoperability.
7. Centrifuge (CFG) – A protocol tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) for DeFi use.

8. Phala Network (PHA) – A privacy-focused cloud computing platform.
9. Interlay (INTR) – A Bitcoin interoperability parachain for trustless BTC bridging.
10. Bifrost (BNC) – A cross-chain liquid staking platform.
11. Manta Network (MANTA) – A privacy-preserving DeFi and identity verification chain using zk-SNARKs.
12. Litentry (LIT) – A decentralized identity (DID) aggregation protocol.
13. Darwinia Network (RING) – A cross-chain bridge hub for connecting different blockchain ecosystems.
14. Kylin Network (KYL) – A decentralized data infrastructure for on-chain and off-chain data.
15. Equilibrium (EQ) – A cross-chain DeFi platform for lending, borrowing, and stablecoins.
