Polkadot has become crypto’s top trending asset across social media. But the attention is not coming from overwhelming optimism.

Years of lagging behind competitors like Solana and Sui have created a surge in skepticism. Sentiment has dropped to one of its weakest levels in recent months, even as discussion volume explodes.
