Polkadot Product Devnet Update
A major update is rolling out to the Polkadot Product Devnet, with a new version of the Devnet mobile and desktop apps to match.
This update brings big changes to the Devnet and requires all developers to follow these steps:
1. Back up your
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union states that everyone has the right to respect for their private and family life, home, and communications.
The current big tech paradigm seems to disregard those rights.
Polkadot products and technology aim to enable those
The idea is simple: the person who produces data should be the one who benefits from it. That's the ideal.
Getting there is a process, not an overnight utopia, and it's what web3 is working towards.
Polkadot Mobile and Desktop are built on technology designed to move us closer
9 in 10 people accept a privacy policy in under 10 seconds. Only 1 to 3% read it in full. 📖
Facebook's alone would take you around 50 minutes.
This creates a system where users supply the inputs while platforms capture most of the economic return.
@Web3foundation's research👇
A Polkadot light client running on a small microcontroller chip. All home-built.
Why it matters: the machine economy needs devices that can read and act on chain state trustlessly. If it fits on a chip this small, it fits in almost anything.
Next step: connecting the hardware
Polkadot light clients now fit on a microcontroller. Here is an ESP32 following the relay chain on a 9V battery 🔋
It verifies finality proofs locally, so it can securely read the state of any parachain without needing to trust an RPC provider.
Next: hooking it up to the Devnet
