EthCC 2: Rob Habermeier
summary
Framework extends Substrate so a chain becomes a Polkadot parachain by compiling a validation function to WASM and embedding an Polkadot light client in the node; collators build block‑data proofs by collecting only the needed state tree nodes and messages. Sync uses a small log2 ancestors table stored in state to find canonical hashes despite pruning. Target relay‑chain finality is ~15–30s; cumulus aims for minimal runtime changes. Work is early but a generic collator binary and APIs are planned.
