The revelation of Polkadot 2.0 by Gavin Wood at the Polkadot Decoded 2023 event in Copenhagen was not merely an announcement of new features or incremental improvements. Instead, it presented a fundamental rethinking of Polkadot’s architecture and purpose. Wood’s vision for Polkadot 2.0 aims to extend the platform’s capabilities, transitioning from a network of interconnected blockchains (parachains) to what he describes as a resilient, global supercomputer.
