00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,719
hey everybody

00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,200
i think we're live um this is dan rieser
3
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,080
from the akala team and i'm joined here
4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,720
by betty chen i'm one of our co-founders
5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:21,920
um
6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,000
today we're gonna be um probably we're
7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,760
gonna try to keep it to around an hour
8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,439
maybe a little bit less but
9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,160
we're gonna be talking through a few
10
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:32,160
things so as you know the main topic
11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,800
is around crowd loans and pair chain
12
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:37,280
auctions and everything that's coming
13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,040
for kusama first and then polka dot
14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,520
following that
15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,040
but but beginning we're going to
16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,879
actually go into a little bit of detail
17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,840
just for those of you who may not be
18
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:49,920
super aware of how polka dot works and
19
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,600
everything around polka dot and kusama
20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,280
so we'll start with that and then after
21
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,559
the crowd loan section betty will get
22
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,360
into
23
00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:58,640
everything around akala and karua and
24
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,079
share a little detail around what's
25
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,120
coming soon with the
26
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,680
crowd loan um
27
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,119
we've got a poll here that i did and it
28
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,280
looks like
29
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:10,880
our average is definitely skewing
30
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,720
towards
31
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,560
i've tried to learn about crowd loans
32
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,159
but i'm confused
33
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,159
so i'm going to try to do a poll at the
34
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:19,759
end and hopefully
35
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:22,080
after seeing this presentation many of
36
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:24,080

37
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,439
towards understanding
38
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,960

00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,280
folks in the ecosystem and
53
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,280
community uh to get to where we are but
54
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,640
i think we're only getting started so
55
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,560
yeah back to you then cool thanks betty
56
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,119
um yeah and i guess it's quick and true
57
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,000
on me so dan reeser i'm uh leading
58
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:09,360
growth here at
59
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
akala and kura been on the team now for
60
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,920
just i think exactly two months now
61
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,920
prior to this spent spent some time at
62
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:18,080
the web 3 foundation working on
63
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:19,920
polka dot and kusama so hopefully i can
64
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,000
use some of that knowledge
65
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,520
from from that role and the presentation
66
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,520
today about polka dot
67
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,520
and then um yeah we'll get into kind of
68
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:32,319
the details around crowd loans
69
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,319
so i'm gonna start sharing my screen
70
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,080
one second
71
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:47,120
okay
72
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:57,440
all right everybody can see my screen
73
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:01,440
and still hear me hopefully
74
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:04,319
cool okay so
75
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,680
i'm gonna start here with uh with
76
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:08,159
polkadot so as you know
77
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,800
polkadot was founded by gavin wood who
78
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:13,519
previously was a co-founder of ethereum
79
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,760
he built the evm the ethereum virtual
80
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:17,680
machine and he also created the solidity
81
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,319
programming language
82
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,000
but following that experience he kind of
83
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:22,480
realized that ethereum wasn't going to
84
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,200
scale
85
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,239
and could be much better so he ended up
86
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,840
creating polka dot
87
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:29,440
building a new programming language
88
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,799
called substrate
89
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,120
which everything in the polka dot
90
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:34,799
ecosystem is built on and
91
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,319
here we are today getting very close to
92
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:39,519
actually launching some of the first
93
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:41,760
pair chains on top of what gavin built
94
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:43,920
at the highest level what polka dot does
95
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,040
is it solves essentially six key
96
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,920
problems that exist
97
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,000
in today's kind of legacy networks like
98
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,000
ethereum or bitcoin
99
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,760
most notably connecting networks
100
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,360
together so this is the concept of
101
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040
interoperability that i know
102
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,040
many of you have heard about over the
103
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,840
last um you know three-ish years um
104
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,120
we also as polka dot polka dot also kind
105
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,319
of helps solve
106
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,480
scaling problems it helps with
107
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:13,439
teams who need security for their
108
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,680
blockchains and i'll get into that later
109
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:17,919
dot and substrate specifically um in the
110
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,120
bottom left here enables teams to build
111
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:22,160
custom platforms for for specific use
112
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,080
cases so
113
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,400
in the collis case where we have custom
114
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,000
built our our parachain our blockchain
115
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,320
specifically for defy and
116
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,840
betty will explain that later um
117
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,520
polkadot has also kind of changed the
118
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,800
way governance works taking it out of
119
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,199
the hands of a few people
120
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,320
and into the hands of the entire network
121
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:40,479
and then last
122
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,240
the ability to self upgrade i kind of
123
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:43,759
compare this to like a tesla you know
124
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,600
you buy a tesla
125
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:47,440
and you can actually get these upgrades
126
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320
over the air that actually add new
127
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,360
features to your
128
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,960
to your car making it you know retain
129
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,919
more value and actually stay
130
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,160
more current and future proof because
131
00:04:55,919 --> 00:04:59,680
you're able to upgrade it as you go
132
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,840
so i'll dive into each one of these
133
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,000
categories very quickly and i think this
134
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:05,759
is necessary background before we get
135
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,680
into crowd loans because
136
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:09,199
in order to understand why somebody
137
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,000
would launch on polka dot i think you
138
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,240
need to understand
139
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,039
what polka dot is and why teams like
140
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,199
akala and karua have chosen to build
141
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:18,160
in this ecosystem where we we had the
142
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:20,160
choice to build
143
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,520
in several ecosystems and did a lot of
144
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,639
research on that so
145
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,240
hopefully by the end of this you'll
146
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:26,320
understand why we chose to build on
147
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,840
polka dot and build kura on
148
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:33,120
akala or sorry build kubra on kusama
149
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:34,639
um so single block chains like bitcoin
150
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,800
and like ethereum
151
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:39,280
are some of them do things really well
152
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,919
like bitcoin it does this digital gold
153
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:43,280
narrative very well um but there's also
154
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:44,960
chains like ethereum who have done a
155
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,039
phenomenal job with their
156
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,320
kind of single blockchain but they're
157
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:51,120
attempting to do
158
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,479
kind of everything just with one um one
159
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,160
blockchain
160
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:55,919
but what polka dot is allowing people to
161
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,240
do is to build
162
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:00,479
custom blockchains for a specific
163
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,280
purpose like finance or like
164
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:04,160
gaming or like insurance and these
165
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,759
blockchains
166
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,440
that you can see here each each one of
167
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:09,120
these little squares is a
168
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,560
blockchain these will all be able to
169
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:15,039
work together and communicate
170
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,039
data and value between each other
171
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,840
um through through the use of bridges
172
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,600
there's several bridges that are already
173
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,280
being built in the ecosystem but these
174
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,360
bridges will allow
175
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,720
not only polka dot itself but also every
176
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,919
one of these blockchains
177
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,039
around this kind of uh infrastructure
178
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:33,520
here to
179
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:34,400
to bridge to to ethereum for example
180
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,840
with a bridge
181
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,080
that's being built by a team called
182
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:40,080
snowfork um
183
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,759
also bridges to bitcoin there's there's
184
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,800
like at least three or four of those
185
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:45,039
being built
186
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,199
um and several other blockchain networks
187
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:48,880
will be bridged
188
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,960
one thing that people ask a lot too is
189
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,479
what about kusama will kusama be able to
190
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,080
interact with polka dot
191
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:55,599
and the answer is definitely yes and
192
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,599
this will probably be one of the first
193
00:06:55,599 --> 00:07:00,840
bridges that we see built
194
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:02,639
once kusama and polkadot are initially
195
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:06,000
launched
196
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:07,680
so customizability you'll hear about
197
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,759
substrate more and more as you get
198
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,880
deeper into the polka dot and kusama
199
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,720
ecosystem
200
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,919
but essentially what substrate is you
201
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,560
can think of it like
202
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:17,440
almost like a music eq where you can
203
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,199
tweak things
204
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,280
up and down and change the way the
205
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:23,360
blockchain actually works for specific
206
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,199
purposes and what that actually looks
207
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,000
like when you're a developer is you're
208
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:28,639
actually using
209
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,880
something called like substrate palettes
210
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:32,319
so you can go in and actually choose
211
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,560
pick and choose what parts of your
212
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,919
blockchain you want in order to create
213
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,120
the kind of perfect
214
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:39,680
blockchain for your use case the cool
215
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,160
thing is
216
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,000
is that this is not capped these
217
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,720
substrate pallets can actually continue
218
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,240
and will continue expanding over time
219
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,160
teams like akala are actually
220
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,560
already custom building pallets that we
221
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,240
can use within our blockchain
222
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,759
and then other teams in the ecosystem
223
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,039
can actually take what we've built and
224
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:59,520
build upon that
225
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:02,000
so things like the akala dollar liquid
226
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,319
dot which betty will mention later
227
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,759
our decks are the akala evm that we
228
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,280
customized are all things that are
229
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:12,160
available at a blockchain
230
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:14,000
level this is this is pretty
231
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,840
surprising when i heard this number but
232
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,039
the polka dot and kusama are able to
233
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,759
scale to up to around 166 000
234
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:23,599
transactions per second according to the
235
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:24,319
the research team at web3 when we talked
236
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:26,800
last year
237
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:27,599
and this compared to your your standard
238
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,280
like visa
239
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:31,120
level transactions per second and then
240
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,279
of course ethereum and bitcoin
241
