My deep dive on the tech powering Polkadot's parachains is up now.

Polkadot v1.0: Sharding and Economic Security

This post is about the technology powering Polkadot. Polkadot is a sharded blockchain with heterogeneous shards.

The Luna token is used to provide security for the Terra blockchain. As Luna plummets, the cost of hijacking the Luna blockchain does too. And other chains like Osmosis have bridged Luna tokens over - this is the risk of not having shared security: the weakest link is toxic.

Once asynchronous backing is deployed on Polkadot, we could consider a hard-fork to reduce the block time to 4s or even less. 6s was chosen because it's the smallest amount of time parachain backing could reasonably fit into. Async backing removes this need.

This is just “Polkadot good, Eth bad” being reflected back in return, and we will see echoes down the line in the future. There’s no point being annoyed; history always echoes. It’s fair play, but we can play better games. This feels like a good moment to post my mental model…

People see "cheap transaction" as a good thing but "cheap blockchain" as a bad thing Building on Polkadot gets you high-quality blockspace at a lower cost than anywhere else - low costs that are then passed on to users.

Here is a discussion on a proposed solution to Polkadot + Ledger: Summary below 1. One single Ledger application for all Substrate-based chains 2. No need to update the application when the chain updates its runtime / transaction format 3. Wallets stream…

The Ledger App Debate: united we stand, divided we fall

Let’s recap what we’ve stated so far. Here are the issues we see with the integration of the ledger and other cold wallets: Frequent runtime updates The need to have an application for each parachain...

What we've seen on Kusama so far is that the system is gathering a lot of momentum. Channels are cheap, so we're trending towards every parachain having a channel to every other parachain. This can't be done effectively in the bridges paradigm without compromising on security.

Over 23 million people in Turkey and Syria are affected by the earthquake, out of a combined total population of 100 million. 1 in 5 are affected, possibly dead or homeless. It is a terrible catastrophe and we must be prepared to help Turkey rebuild over the next years.

Really interesting concept - running a ZK Light Client on Polkadot to serve as a message-passing platform for rollups deployed on Ethereum to get efficient state proofs. And some very important points about how we should develop as a community of ecosystem agents.

If the current rate continues, we would expect to see 3.6 Million per day. The Relay Chain is supporting this demand simultaneously with 50 parachains.

Shared security means that you can't 51% attack one chain without 51% attacking all of them. Some shared security solutions are also scaling solutions and make security for blockchains more efficient. Some aren't.

A quick reminder of what "shared security" means and why it's so important.
