Polkadot outlook by @gavofyork live at the Web3 Summit in Berlin.
Web3 is not a progression of Web2.
These are two opposite approaches. Web2 solved social scale first, while Web3 solved economic functionality.
Polkadot Trinity is being built right now.
We do the hard work in the background, so the product developers don’t have to.
No logins. No install to start using. Comfortable and familiar interfaces. Coherence across devices. No crypto identifiers. No exposure to multiple selves. Mathematically guaranteed privacy and security.
Stay tuned.
After 7 months of inactivity on social media,
$DOT founder Gavin Wood is set to speak the day after tomorrow!!
What will he announce? What groundbreaking news will he reveal? What technological bombshell will he drop?
I’m ready @gavofyork
LFG 👀💣💥📈
JAM plus AI JAM upgrades Polkadot into a decentralized supercomputer with massive parallel compute ideal for AI workloads like verifiable inference decentralized training and onchain agents This positions DOT as the backbone for the next wave of AI crypto adoption scalability.
.@Polkadot is quietly rebuilding its entire engine 🌐
It's called JAM - maybe the most ambitious upgrade in crypto right now.
Here's JAM in 60 seconds 🧵

Over the past months, I’ve received many messages regarding Neo Legacy assets that were never migrated before the migration portal closed.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about this. While the migration process was available for years, these assets still belong to members of our community, and I believe we should make a genuine effort to address the remaining cases.
I’ve asked NGD to put together a process for collecting information, verifying ownership, and exploring a path forward.
More details will be shared soon.
@BitcoinNewsCom It's incredibly frustrating to constantly verify shareholdings; the website has issues almost every month, and it doesn't consider investors in other overseas countries.
Today our Board approved the establishment of two new wholly owned subsidiaries, Metaplanet Ventures and Metaplanet Asset Management.
Metaplanet Ventures is our commitment to Japan's Bitcoin ecosystem. We'll be investing ¥4 billion over the next few years into companies building Bitcoin financial infrastructure in Japan. Lending, payments, custody, stablecoins, derivatives, compliance. We're also launching an incubator for early stage Japanese founders and a grants program for open source Bitcoin developers, educators, and researchers. Japan has built the best regulatory framework in the world for digital assets. Now it needs the companies, the builders, and the infrastructure to match. We want to help make that happen.
Metaplanet Asset Management, based in Miami, will be our digital credit and Bitcoin capital markets platform, bridging Asian and Western capital markets across yield, equity, credit, and volatility strategies. More to come as we launch specific products.
Our first investment through Metaplanet Ventures: up to ¥400 million into JPYC, Japan's first licensed yen stablecoin. Every Bitcoin transaction has two sides. Bitcoin and a currency. As this market goes institutional, that currency side goes digital. JPYC is building that rail in Japan and we want to be part of it.
