Polkadot Behind the Code, Episode 2 and Capturing Behind the Code Panel
summary
Behind-the-scenes footage shows the team building a usable Polkadot stack: Substrate uses Substrate WebAssembly runtime modules so chains assemble balance, contracts and custom logic in minutes; on-chain upgrades run through scheduled governance instead of hard forks; cross-chain trust uses GRANDPA two-thirds finality proofs; parachains are launching and the ecosystem lists 250 projects, ~100 teams with many vying for slots. Proven ideas move from whitepaper to deployed code, not just theory.
