Gavin Wood: Polkadot may cancel parallel chain auction and shift focus to application-centric approach.
BlockBeats reported on July 7th that Gavin Wood, the founder of Polkadot, gave a speech at the Polkadot Decoded conference, stating that Polkadot may cancel parallel chain auctions and shift to an application-centric model. He proposed a new perspective on Polkadot: no longer limited to existing parallel chains and relay chains, but focusing on the underlying resources needed for blockchain - computing cores (cores), viewing Polkadot as a multi-core computer. The time on these cores is called "Core Time" and can be sold regularly.
Gavin explained that Polkadot's goal is not only about chains, but about space and the underlying resources needed for chains. He emphasized that Polkadot is a platform for builders to create applications and for users to use applications. Essentially, it is not a platform for hosting blockchains. The chain is just one of the ways that Polkadot becomes useful, but it may not be the only way. Overall, Polkadot is a resilient, versatile, and continuous computing provider.
