Can Gavin Wood's Polkadot 'Make Blockchain Great Again'? - Ep.202

Gavin Wood, founder of Polkadot, Kusama, and Parity, discusses what he calls the "meta-protocol," Polkadot. In this episode, he talks about: ● his vision for Polkadot and the problems he set out to solve when conceiving it ● why he considers Polkadot a meta-protocol ● the implementation of parachains and parathreads, how they are defined and how they differ ● parachain auctions and candle auctions ● how DDoS attacks can be prevented on parachains ● initial parachain offerings and how they differ from initial coin offerings and avoid the regulatory problems that were so common with ICOs on-chain governance on Polkadot and how it works ● how immediate implementation of proposals that pass consensus will prevent forks ● his answer to those who point to Parity's history with security lapses as cause for concern about Polkadot's security ● how he sees Polkadot co-existing with Ethereum ● whether Polkadot is working toward composability ● how the Web3 Foundation and Parity plan to use their collective stake of DOTs within the network ● how he plans to address the possibility that DOT could be labeled a security ● how he imagines Polkadot will serve the enterprise world and how Polkadot will benefit enterprise blockchains Thank you to our sponsors! 1inch: https://1inch.exchange Crypto.com: https://www.crypto.com Episode links: Gavin Wood:   / gavofyork   Polkadot: https://polkadot.network Kusama: https://kusama.network ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FOLLOW THE UNCHAINED and UNCONFIRMED PODCAST!
