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
