  • 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
  • how he imagines Polkadot will serve the enterprise world and how Polkadot will benefit enterprise blockchains
