An interesting technical question: can the edge blockchain model effectively scale to smaller ecosystems like Polkadot? This is worth exploring given the growing focus on layer-2 solutions and sidechain architectures. Polkadot's parachain framework is designed for interoperability, but edge blockchain implementations traditionally favor high-throughput networks. The key challenge lies in whether the lightweight, distributed edge computing approach can maintain security guarantees while operating within resource-constrained parachains. Some parachain projects are already experimenting with edge-based validation—could this be the missing piece for substrate-based chains to compete with dominant layer-1 networks? The technical requirements differ significantly, but the potential efficiency gains might justify deeper investigation into cross-chain edge deployment strategies.

Edge computing running on parachains? It still depends on how to ensure security.

Can edge computing run smoothly on a small ecosystem like Polkadot? I remain skeptical... How can it pass the security check?

Edge computing running on Polkadot? Sounds plausible, but I think it still depends on actual implementation; otherwise, it's just armchair strategizing.

I think we should wait a bit longer for the combination of edge computing+parachain; the Polkadot ecosystem isn't that competitive yet.
