  • Exploring: Polkadot with Bill Laboon, Head of Education and Grants at the Web3 Foundation

    In this episode, we spoke with Bill Laboon, Head of Education and Grants at the Web3 Foundation.

    Bill shares the origin of the Polkadot Network and its native token DOT. Polkadot’s role as a meta platform for developing your own blockchains – called parachains. How the DOT cryptocurrency plays a key role in maintaining and operating the Polkadot network via the innovative nominated proof of stake consensus mechanism which by design is inflationary giving it a different economic design than bitcoin and other crypto currencies. 

    And finally, what DOT holders can look forward to on the development roadmap coming soon.
