Is the ideal of crypto dead? Gavin Wood: No, it's time for a new generation!
Has the crypto industry failed?
In the last part of this three-hour in-depth conversation, Gavin did not give a simple yes or no, but took us back to the idealism of ten years ago and then through today’s reality of pressure and alienation. He talked about the boundaries of 'failure,' the corrosion of the industry, and the boundaries of responsibility, as well as how 'anger' drives him to continue acting—even when he knows he cannot change everything.
He said: 'I may not be able to change anything, but what I'm doing now might be the strongest way I can do it.'

He said: 'I may not be able to change anything, but what I'm doing now might be the strongest way I can do it.'
Not long ago, Gavin accepted an interview with 'Space Monkeys', reflecting on his thoughts and plans for the future.
He admitted: "The next ten years of Polkadot are the ten years of my life."
This is not only a commitment to the development vision of Polkadot but also marks his personal role's transition from a simple 'protocol inventor' to a 'creator' who drives ecological implementation through actual products.
In the past, Gavin built system-level innovations like Substrate, Polkadot, OpenGov, and others.
Today's Gavin wants these technologies to truly serve life!
He confessed that he originally hoped to pursue personal interests like music or gaming after Polkadot took shape.
But he realized that before he truly embarked on his ideal life, he more hoped to see Polkadot, which he created, continuously generate real value for the world!

💥 Gavin Wood: JAM offers an opportunity just like the first time I learned about Ethereum!
Gavin always describes his starting point quite modestly: a friend told him that someone was working on a new protocol called Ethereum that needed someone to implement it. He picked up the white paper, started writing code, without any grand narrative or planned career path.
What happened later, we all know: Ethereum was born, the yellow paper emerged, and an industry began to take shape.
But Gavin said: "Writing code is the starting point of everything and the most reliable path."
Today's JAM is at the same early stage. The protocol is still taking shape, the client is still being implemented, and many key parts remain to be explored.
Because of this, it provides a real opportunity for builders just like Gavin had back then — the ability to influence the underlying design, to drive standards, and to determine how future developers will use it.
"I walked this path, and if these new developers have enough passion and capability, in my view, nothing can stop them from stepping onto this path — only this time the goal is JAM, not Ethereum!"

💥 Gavin Wood's product blueprint: Life, Space, and a Polkadot that no longer pleases the CT!
After Gavin returned to Parity as CEO, Polkadot is undergoing a 'most unusual' shift: from 'building infrastructure' → 'personally getting involved in products'!
But the question is, what products is Parity actually working on? Why have they only released 'entry-level signals' without revealing the full picture?
I pieced together the official information from Parity and the clues scattered in Gavin's interviews to create a reasoning recap, with key points including👇
▪️ New version of polkadot.com: not a marketing page, more like 'product specification homepage'
▪️ Polkadot Mobile App: chat + transfers + real payment gateways (not just a wallet)
▪️ Polkadot Hub: EVM + PolkaVM as a unified application layer main venue (launching on 2026/1/20)
▪️ PDP/toolchain: making 'connecting chains/deploying/operations/monitoring' a delivery path like the cloud
▪️ PoP / Project Individuality: may enter treasury logic, changing growth and resource allocation methods
▪️ And two more mysterious product lines: Life & Space (mentioned by Gavin himself)
If you also want to know: what 'product' will Polkadot bring to face ordinary people in 2026? This article is worth finishing!

💥Last night, Gavin Wood delivered a live sharing session on the future development of @Polkadot Network !
Coincidentally, he was at the "Polkadot Palace" in Lisbon at the time — the main building is still under intense construction, with the sound of concrete pouring echoing throughout. This live broadcast, set against such a unique backdrop, seems to reflect the situation of Polkadot itself: amidst the clamor of large-scale construction, the network is undergoing an unprecedented "reconstruction".
The focal point of this live session was economic and fiscal responsibility. In the OpenGov WFC (Wish for Change) track, three proposals regarding inflation are fiercely competing:
👉Hard Pressure is leading with a voting advantage of over 16 million DOT;
👉Medium Pressure has very few supporters;
👉Soft Pressure is almost ignored.
This vote is about whether Polkadot will embark on a new path of "inflation capping + tiered reduction". Why do this? Why proactively put down the "unlimited credit card" and move towards stricter fiscal discipline? How does Gavin view the issue of inflation and the broader DOT economic issues?
PolkaWorld has promptly organized the Chinese version of this live session for everyone; let's first take a look at the content of the first half:
1⃣Why does Polkadot need to limit its total supply?
2⃣Why does Polkadot need "tiered reduction"?
3⃣What Polkadot really needs to control is not inflation, but interest rates
4⃣250 million DOT sold annually, validators must pay with stablecoins
5⃣What is Gavin's mission after returning as Parity CEO?
6⃣Not only building machines but also building applications: Polkadot's Hub and Coretime strategy

🕶️ Gavin is on the move! @Polkadot Network ascends to the House of Lords in the UK! The dialogue on Web3 education and policy has officially begun! 💥
Last Wednesday, the roundtable event "Web3 Education, Innovation & Opportunity" hosted by UK House of Lords member Baroness Uddin and Dr. Lisa Cameron took place at the House of Lords in London. Founder Gavin Wood of @Polkadot Network attended in person to discuss Web3 education, innovation, and policy opportunities with leaders from the UK political, academic, and industrial sectors.
This event was co-organized by the Polkadot Blockchain Academy team and received funding support from the Polkadot Event Bounty treasury. The event's theme was "Empowering Education for Web3 Popularization," making it one of the first high-level meetings in the UK political arena to officially discuss Web3 education and regulatory innovation.
This roundtable not only sparked heated discussions within the UK political sphere but is also seen as an important milestone for Polkadot in bringing Web3 into the national policy agenda.
In the future, the team will use this event as a starting point to promote global awareness of Web3 education and blockchain knowledge, helping more countries share the innovative achievements of this emerging industry!

💥Gavin Wood: The era of relying solely on technological selling points is over; DOT must have real economic utility!
For the past decade, Gavin Wood has been the most steadfast advocate of "decentralization." From Ethereum's Solidity to Polkadot's multi-chain architecture, he has built one technical world after another. But in this conversation, he no longer discusses abstract technical visions; instead, he talks about "life."
"The next decade of Polkadot is the decade of my life."
Gavin opens a new chapter with this statement! Transitioning from "protocol inventor" to "product creator"; from "system design" to "reconstructing human social contracts."
In this half-hour in-depth interview, he discusses the self-splitting of the "philosopher and warrior," the "mental cages" left by the industrial age, the true meaning of decentralization, and how Polkadot must establish its own economic strategy.
He proposed a core proposition - decentralization is not a slogan, but making the system itself verifiable and self-healing, without relying on the trust of any individual.
Whether it’s turning @paritytech into a product-oriented company, designing a stablecoin backed by DOT, or reshaping the financial and voting logic of OpenGov, Gavin's ambition is no longer to build a "blockchain network" but to create a prototype of a society in the information age.
This dialogue is both a retrospective on technology and a personal confession about fate and freedom.
It reveals a new Gavin Wood - someone who no longer hides behind code but steps up personally, rewriting the future through products and actions.

💥 The individuality system will also be integrated into @Polkadot Hub!
Currently, the positioning of Polkadot Hub is as a Polkadot L1 smart contract platform! The Hub is not a replacement for parachains but a supplement, aimed at enabling developers to build applications faster and more broadly.
1/
However, having only the smart contract infrastructure is not enough. For the Hub to succeed, it needs stronger incentives and user mechanisms!
Gavin clearly pointed out: technical strength does not equate to functionality; it needs to attract developers, users, teams, and entrepreneurs through a "usage layer motivation."
2/
The secret to the success of Web2 giants is: free services, such as:
• Free social
• Free search
• Free payment
Users like "free," which is the foundation of internet growth.
For Polkadot to compete, it must also provide users with a similar experience.
3/
The premise of free services is a strong anti-witch mechanism. Without anti-witch measures:
• Free services will be abused
• The network cannot bear the costs
• The incentive system cannot operate
Gavin's view:
Free services = must first solve witch attacks
This is the fundamental reason for the existence of the individuality system Project Individuality (PoI, PoVI).

This latest interview provides a great breakdown of Gavin's past experiences, revealing an extremely clear and almost stubborn main theme: he has never been about 'using the system,' but rather 'inventing the rules.'
At five or six, he explored the world on his own in a second-hand music high school without any manuals;
At nine, he wrote his own 'first line of destiny' on his first computer in his bedroom;
In his teens, he was not satisfied with playing games, but instead made 'Dark Times' and a homemade version of 'Bomber Man,' turning his classmates and magazine judges into players;
Later, he self-taught AMOS, C++, OpenGL, wrote games, created websites, tinkered with electronic samplers, and designed handmade board games—repeatedly transforming the world in his mind into a system that others could actually 'enter.'
These experiences may seem like a checklist of interests from a geeky youth, but looking back today, you will find another layer of something more significant—Gavin has not believed in the 'world defined by authority' from an early age; he cares more about whether he can design a fairer and more enjoyable world.
Whether it's the game rules of open worlds, or later Ethereum, @Polkadot, and the cryptoeconomics and governance designs behind JAM, they are essentially the same thing—not providing a path for people, but building an entire 'world where one can walk and explore on their own.' It's not about blind faith in authority, but about letting the rules themselves challenge authority.
So, when we talk about Gavin today, he is not just 'the founder of a certain public chain' or 'a tech whiz,' but we are looking at someone who started practicing with Lego and ultimately extended his imagination into games, hardware, board games, social systems, and Web3, how he uses his life to answer the same question:
'If rules are not meant to control people, but to unleash their creativity, what could the world be redesigned into?'
This is the truly captivating aspect of the following conversation!

➡️ Execution path
🔹 Strategic capital investment
🔹 Concentrating resources → Building Hub smart contract platform
🔹 Incubating new scenarios such as Proof of Personhood, games, etc.
🔹 Using the platform ourselves + dual-line advancement towards users
🗓️ Gavin preview: new products will be released in the coming months!
@Polkadot Network is transitioning from "building platforms" to a whole new stage of "building applications"!

Pala Labs recently released a video of their interview with Gavin during the JAM Tour!
In this long interview, Gavin reflected on his journey from playing with second-hand Lego as a child, writing games, designing board games, to his experiences with Ethereum, Polkadot, and JAM. He repeatedly emphasized that whether in board games or the crypto economy, the real key is not how beautifully the rules are written, but what behaviors these rules will elicit in the real world.
He also talked about his long-standing aversion to the 'authority-submission' structure, hoping to transform social relationships into 'collaboration between equal individuals' through Web3 and JAM, rather than following a single point leader. In the age of AI, he even stated directly: AI makes the world 'more reliant on trust and further from truth', and Web3 must serve as a counterforce to 'bring the truth back'.
Finally, he gave a piece of advice to young developers participating in JAM: if you believe in a free society and autonomous personality, get involved early and deeply—creating a protocol might just be your entry point into the entire industry.
The complete Chinese version will be released by PolkaWorld next week, stay tuned! 🥰

🏄♀️ The Future of Polkadot: JAM, an Open System Where Everyone Can Create!\n \nWhen the promises of an era are fulfilled, a new chapter quietly unfolds.\n\nIn the past five years, @Polkadot Network has completed its mission—realizing the ideals in the white paper and making the multi-chain network a reality.\n\nAnd when that blueprint was realized, what @paritytech and @gavofyork faced was no longer 'what to build' but 'what shall we explore next.'\n\nThis time, they are no longer chasing speed and are no longer constrained by old vision documents.\n\nWith experience, resources, and belief, they step into an uncharted 'green field'—to contemplate the freedom of technology, the flow of knowledge, and the boundaries between people and networks.\n\nThis is JAM.\nA new starting point that is no longer bound by white papers but encourages the world to create freely.\n\n"This is a well-earned freedom."\n—— Gavin Wood\n#JAM #Gavin
Gavin Wood released the 2025 year-end summary of @Polkadot Network last night! PolkaWorld has released the complete Chinese version, and here are a few feelings I had after reading it!
Overall, in 2025, it is not about 'doing more features', but about reshaping the underlying logic.
1. Hub Migration is the most important thing in the entire summary, yet it is the easiest to underestimate! This is not just because it is the craziest operation in blockchain history, but also because it makes Polkadot no longer just an 'L2 host chain', but an L1 chain with a native contract environment!
2. The true meaning of Revive + PolkaVM: it is not about being compatible with EVM, but rather 'ending the either/or'. This is the first time I’ve seen a mainstream L1 directly say that you can be fully compatible or have extreme performance, rather than 'we want both, but are a little short on each'.
3. Supply Cap is an economic change, but more so a shift in Polkadot's economic thinking. Because of the Supply Cap, we began to think about security costs, treasury funds, ROI narratives, and real demand.
4. Gavin returning as CEO is not a power reclamation. Rather, it is that he has spent 10 years thinking and creating the protocol, and at this moment, he finally realized what needs to be done in the next 10 years!
5. The recurring hidden theme throughout the article: Polkadot is preparing for 'non-crypto native users'!
• Hub → Lower fees, balances, wait times
• XCM intents → One-click cross-chain
• Individuality → Identity without sacrificing privacy
• Canonical Apps → Official entry points
• Emphasizing UX, latency, predictability
This indicates that the target user profile has changed.
In 2025, the engine has been rebuilt.
In 2026, it will be tested whether it can support real people, not just ideals.

💥Gavin Wood: Elastic expansion will have a significant impact on DOT's token economy!
The price of the core has not changed at present because Polkadot only has 45 core resources, corresponding to 45 parallel chains, each of which can only use one core.
This leads to a perfect balance between supply and demand, and the price will naturally tend to zero.
But when elastic expansion is launched, demand will be magnified. We already know that some chains are willing to spend a lot of money to buy multiple cores (such as Mythical, peaq, Unique) to obtain faster transaction processing speeds and higher throughput!
Once the elastic expansion function is launched, it will support a chain with 10 cores, and the price may also increase 10 times~
This will greatly change the economic model of DOT and bring an interesting turn!
According to @alice_und_bob's latest live broadcast, this function should be launched in late August, and it may be slightly delayed to early September! The developer team is working on stability optimization, but the overall progress is smooth!
Let's look forward to it~🥰
