EthCC 2: Ryan Zurrer
summary
Polka-dot describes a relay chain plus parachains model that connects chains natively via Substrate or through bridges to Ethereum and others, and claims mainnet delivery by end Q3/early Q4 2019. Governance combines referenda, a rotating council with approval and adaptive quorum biasing, and time‑locked voting that gives small holders weight by locking tokens. Substrate demos spin up a chain and DApp in ~15–20 minutes; Edgeware launches as a treasury DAO with roughly 50% of block rewards funding grants and bounties.
