In this episode, host Jorrin Bruns (Support Engineer, Parity Technologies) is joined by Joe Petrowski (Common Good Parachains Team Lead, Web3 Foundation) to talk about common good parachains (https://polkadot.network/blog/common-good-parachains-an-introduction-to-governance-allocated-parachain-slots/) (aka system level parachains), the layer-1 Polkadot blockchains dedicated to core functionality that benefits the entire Polkadot ecosystem. Since Statemint, dedicated to asset and NFT functionality, launched as Polkadot's first common good parachain (https://polkadot.network/blog/statemint-becomes-first-common-good-parachain-on-polkadot/), many more have been in development. This episode explores how common good chains are evolving and what this means for the Polkadot ecosystem, from the new Collectives parachain, evolving NFTs on Statemint, to the upcoming Bridge Hub parachain, and many exciting projects coming out of the ecosystem. During this talk, Petrowski describes how common good parachains are elected, categorized, onboarded, and eventually made available to users. He highlights the importance of the Cross-Consensus Message Format (XCM) (https://polkadot.network/blog/xcm-the-cross-consensus-message-format/) for system-level parachains, and those which are ready to launch once XCMv3 is deployed. Finally, during the analysis of parachain transaction validation and finalization, we discover the eye-opening benefits of moving core functionality off the relay chain; Polkadot could support far more than 100 parachains, with far fewer than 1,000 validators needed to process transactions with the same security guarantees as before.

This week, Jorrin Bruns (Support Engineer, Parity Technologies) is joined by Origin Trail's Tomaž Levak (co-founder & CEO) and Žiga Drev (co-founder and COO). OriginTrail is a Substrate-based blockchain that recently won a parachain slot on Polkadot. OriginTrail developed the world's first Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) to organize humanity's most important assets, making them discoverable, verifiable, and valuable, often referred to as 'the google of Web3'. This talk explores the real-world use cases of Origin Trail, and how through the synergy of knowledge graphs and blockchains, DKG forms the "semantic layer of Web3", enabling Web3 builders to organize, discover, and verify anything. It's similar to the technology used by major Web2 giants like Google and Amazon to power their services. The Origin Trail team explain how they moved into Web3 and achieved mainstream adoption, starting out on Ethereum as one of the first and most promising blockchain projects to address supply chain use cases, and evolving into a multichain decentralized knowledge network. They also discuss the OriginTrail parachain, enhancing the DKG with Substrate, unleashing network effects through Polkadot, collaborating with parachains, and how you can participate in OriginTrail, from running nodes to interacting with the community.

Сейчас криптовалюты обретают актуальность как никогда. В гости к нам пришел Кирилл Пименов. Он отвечает за кибербезопасность в Parity Technologies, компании-разработчике блокчейна Polkadot. В первой части подкаста обсудили техническую составляющую вопроса: как криптовалюты связаны с блокчейн сетями, за счет чего достигается анонимность, как избегать двойных трат. Во второй части обсудили социальный аспект. Ведь блокчейн и криптовалюты – это инструмент, позволяющий людям объединяться в потенциально бесконечные сообщества не из-за внешнего принуждения или страха, а из собственной выгоды.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io and Quantstamp.Joining “Money Reimagined” hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren is Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Parity Technologies, which produces Polkadot. More recently, Wood founded the Web3 Foundation, an organization aiming to fund development teams building the decentralized internet.First, Wood walks through the founding ideals of Polkadot, including its focus on decentralization, interoperability and efficiency. He next explains the technologies Polkadot introduced to meet the ideals and help accelerate experimentations into the future Web 3.Wood views the transition from Web 2 to Web 3 not as an optional step, but a necessary one, adding, “We cannot afford to base our infrastructure on fundamentally flawed centralized technologies.” The current internet's flaws in centralization and privacy concerns will be challenging to overcome in the next iteration of internet technologies, but Wood is optimistic that with the right incentives, these new solutions will be created that align with the needs of users.How long until this vision of a better web is actualized?-Nexo is a powerful, all-in-one crypto platform where you can securely store your crypto.

What The Fuck Is Web3? My NFT, Crypto, and Influencer Marketing Moves In 2022 | Ep 34 Do you ever find yourself wondering, “What is Web3?” You're not alone. The idea is having a moment, whether you're measuring by VC funding, lobbying blitzes, or incomprehensible corporate announcements. But it can be hard to tell what all the hype is about. To believers, Web3 represents the next phase of the internet and, perhaps, of organizing society. Web 1.0, the story goes, was the era of decentralized, open protocols, in which most online activity involved navigating to individual static webpages. Web 2.0, which we're living through now, is the era of centralization, in which a huge share of communication and commerce takes place on closed platforms owned by a handful of super-powerful corporations—think Google, Facebook, Amazon—subject to the nominal control of centralized government regulators. Web3 is supposed to break the world free of that monopolistic control. At the most basic level, Web3 refers to a decentralized online ecosystem based on the blockchain. Platforms and apps built on Web3 won't be owned by a central gatekeeper, but rather by users, who will earn their ownership stake by helping to develop and maintain those services. Gavin Wood coined the term Web3 (originally Web 3.0) in 2014. At the time, he was fresh off of helping develop Ethereum, the cryptocurrency that is second only to Bitcoin in prominence and market size. Today he runs the Web3 Foundation, which supports decentralized technology projects, as well as Parity Technologies, a company focused on building blockchain infrastructure for Web3. Wood, who is based in Switzerland, spoke with me last week over video about where Web 2.0 went wrong, his vision of the future, and why we all need to be less trusting. The following interview is a transcript of our conversation, lightly edited for clarity and length. WIRED: As I understand it, the idea of Web3 at its most basic level is that the current setup, Web 2.0, is no good. So before we talk about what Web3 would entail, how would you describe the problems with the status quo? Gavin Wood: I think the model for Web 2.0 was much the same as the model for society before the internet existed. If you go back 500 years, people basically just stuck to their little villages and townships. And they traded with people that they knew. And they relied on, broadly speaking, the social fabric, to ensure that expectations were credible, were likely to actually happen: These apples are not rotten, or this horseshoe doesn't break after three weeks. And that works reasonably well, because it's difficult and very time-consuming and expensive to move between towns. So you have a reasonably high level of credibility that someone is going to stick around and they don't want to be exiled. But as society moved into something larger-scale, and we have cities and countries and international organizations, we moved on to this weird kind of brand reputation thing. We've created these powerful but regulated bodies, and the regulators, in principle, ensure that our expectations are met. There are certain statutory requirements that, to operate in a particular industry, you must fulfill. This is not a great solution, for a few reasons. One of them is, it's very hard to regulate new industries. The government is slow, it takes a while to catch up. Another is that regulators are imperfect. And especially when they work closely with the industry, oftentimes there's a bit of a revolving door relationship between the industry and the regulator. Another is simply a regulatory body has very limited firepower. It's how much money the government puts into it. And so necessarily, regulation is going to be patchy. They will be able to regulate maybe the biggest offenders but they aren't able to retain a really strong influence all the time everywhere. And of course, the regulators and the laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
