Substrate: A Rustic Vision for Polkadot by Gavin Wood at Web3 Summit 2018

Gavin Wood, Co-Founder of Ethereum, Parity Technologies, & Polkadot, presents Substrate, a blockchain in-a-box + VM for building blockchains easily. Gavin demos Substrate and codes a blockchain in 30 minutes, instead of days or weeks.
This video was recorded at Web3 Summit 2018 in Berlin.

This Web3 Summit 2018 is proving to be like the Live Aid concert of 1985 - A snapshot of undeniable history in the making

[@BF1GUN]

I cannot believe I have spent 1hr 25mins watching something I have absolutely no idea about, except for the unwrapping and setup of a Macbook!! However, I can fully appreciate achieving something in 30mins that would normally take much much longer. For that reason, I plan to invest in this company / technology.

[@chrisdcosta2622]

You should be in no doubt that what was demoed here is astonishing. Gavin Wood seems to be so far ahead of everyone else it's hard to keep up with the speed at which his work is being delivered and released. There is a drive and a clear vision, that few really appreciate.

[@MuhammadAltabba]

Yes, and "few really appreciate" is a clear indication of humble marketing and poor work on the community growth.

[@andrewgervais3039]

​@@MuhammadAltabba poor work on community growth and masterful work on the creative process for developing these pivotal, paradigm shifting technologies. The ecosystem is usually much healthier if it doesn't grow too fast.

[@koredeaderele1666]

that smart contract composability question at 47:20 is really good

[@davlmt]

Subtle RADIX shill

[@hermesradvocado9491]

100% agreed!! Atomic composability allows an ecosystem to innovate much faster... The best innovations of different projects can be plug and played together for another relatively low effort combination. Atomic composability basically = supercharge for DLT innovation We need this feature at scale, if the scaling solutions break this feature then that's a superpower lost :(

[@leom141]

Radix solves all this 😂😂😂

Funny looking at this after working on my substrate project in 2019. I love it!

[@yiyangzhang6730]

太棒了 3刷

[@nachannachle2706]

Dr Wood is pure GENIUS. So much to explore in the technological mastodons that he and his team are building. This is the future of blockchain, web development and fintech under the same hood. I am making it my prime objective to finish my CS studies and work for Parity technologies within the next 5 years. I know I sound like a fangirl but, my gosh, Substrate is as exciting as BFR going to Mars! :)

[@simplyexplained2901]

Nice! How’s it going 2 years later?

Where can we find the used slides?

[@rezakh]

Is there anyway that we can get the presentation slides? and / or the code?

[@raunaquepatra3966]

The random function used in this demo for coin toss is not secure right? I mean adversary can predict the outcome before hand if s/he runs a blockchain node.

[@deanalainv]

Will Polkadot be the number 1 chain in the space ? Seems they could be. Great presentation.

So when do investors get to see some returns?

[@anthonyrocha8075]

Polkadot and Cosmos have a lot in common.

[@vsx8179]

Gavin is so alpha

[@learnoutloud589]

The first tutorial for getting substrate up and going doesn't work anymore and I have no idea how to get it working.

[@drakewagner4912]

how does this differ from cardano (ADA)

[@nathandrake4988]

Its just better nothing else.

[@DrakeonDigital]

@@nathandrake4988 lol I guess that works

[@gtg238s]

It differs quite a lot. Both are awesome projects that will improve the world. I’m not a maximalist so there’s room in the world for both Ada, DOT, and even ETH and BTC.

[@terencelam4338]

So few views on this entire playlist on KZbin. People in the blockchain space wont use KZbin anymore?

[@MuhammadAltabba]

They see other videos. The team has to identify and fix the issues that makes a great video unattractive! One of them is the loooooong video time. As example, if you want to see when Substrate is used to lunch a blockchain, you have to watch about 1 hour till the time came 😅

[@nachannachle2706]

@@MuhammadAltabba But, don't you need to understand WHY they came up with Substrate before watching what it does, in practice? Big picture -> Implementation makes sense to me.

[@MuhammadAltabba]

@@nachannachle2706 Big picture could comes from reading. Videos are more important for practical parts. If you have a full time job, a family to look after, and you learn and invest in your free time, then spending 1 or 2 hours on listing to questions and answers is a real waste of your valuable time. This is because for example, in accumulated 24 hours you are supposed to learn a new programming language or learn a new technology.

[@aeorpup3937]

49:30 I wonder what those two were doing

[@HawkeyesClub]

So he left Ethereum? Why? Specifically to work on this?

[@Yhozen]

AFAIK he was kicked out of the foundation but because he still loves the blockchain he started Parity
