💥 Gavin Wood: The age of selling technology is over — DOT must find its real economic purpose. For a decade, @gavofyork has been the most steadfast preacher of decentralization. From Solidity to @Polkadot's multichain architecture, he has built worlds out of code — entire ecosystems shaped by logic and conviction. But in this conversation, he speaks not of protocols or abstractions. He speaks of life. “The next ten years of Polkadot are the next ten years of my life.” With that sentence, Gavin opens a new chapter — transforming from the architect of protocols into the creator of products, from designing systems to redefining the social contract of the digital age. In this half-hour dialogue, he reflects on the split between the philosopher and the warrior within himself, on the cage of industrial thought we’ve inherited, on the true meaning of decentralization, and on why Polkadot must build an economy — not just a network. His central insight resounds: “Decentralization isn’t a slogan — it’s a structure where systems verify themselves, heal themselves, and never depend on trust in any single human.” Whether it’s turning @paritytech toward a product-driven future, designing a DOT-backed stablecoin, or reshaping OpenGov’s fiscal and voting mechanics — Gavin’s ambition now reaches beyond technology. He is no longer building a blockchain, but the first blueprint of a society native to the information age. This conversation is both a technical reflection and a personal confession — a meditation on destiny, freedom, and responsibility. It reveals a new Gavin Wood — no longer hidden behind the code, but standing on the front line, rewriting the future with his own hands. 🎥 Original video: 📘 Full Chinese translation by PolkaWorld:
