Listen "66: Explaining Polkadot, Parachains, with guest speaker Joe Petrowski from Web3 Foundation’s Technical team."
Episode Synopsis
What is Polkadot and how is it different from Ethereum? What are parachains? What are the downsides and benefits of using a para chain? Why do we pay Gas fees? What can be done to reduce it? What is the transactional executional model in Blockchains?
These are some of the questions that I get answered in this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani podcast.
For this episode I am interviewing Joe Petrowski from the Web3 foundation. He is part of the technical and engineering team at Web3 foundation and responsible for parachains on Polkadot.
This episode is relevant for anyone who is interested in a more in depth understanding of blockchains.
In this episode we also talk about
Private blockchains
Para Chains
Synchronous programming
Security of contracts
Proof of Stake vs Proof of work
Tooling and infrastructure
Light clients
And much more…
