Decoded Chaos - WagMedia Weekly Special Edition (June 26th - June 30th)

What is up my friends! Undeniably this week is all about Polkadot Decoded, so a conscious decision has been made to make this week’s weekly into a special edition.

This has also catered for a natural change in timing to get your wag weekly fix. Moving forward, coverage will be from Friday to Thursday. Additionally, in order to allow time to put things together, the weekly will be issued on the following Monday or Tuesday.

Stay tuned, as more changes may be coming soon, as the aim is to enhance the convenience of this wagtastic experience!


TOP NEWS OF THE WEEK


Polkadot Decoded was billed as the ecosystem’s event of the year, and boy did it live up to it. Set over 4 live locations around the world, with additional side events in different cities, the organizers deserve a lot of praise for their efforts.

The program opened up in Hangzhou, with live events staggered over two days across Berlin, Buenos Aires, and New York where proceedings closed.

Currently, the most popular session of the event has been Dr. Gavin Wood’s keynote on Governance 2.0, which has been covered by a number of content creators within WagMedia. The recording is also available online and is compulsive viewing, as it provides a thorough review of Governance and what to expect in the future once the Technical Committee & Council are dissolved. To supplement it, you can consider viewing the creations from @stano, @DrCAO, and @lucasyoda.

Other popular sessions based on online recording viewing numbers include Dr. Gavin Wood’s session on XCM v3, Rob Habermeier’s keynote on Building the Parachain Playground, Parity’s Pierre Krieger covering light clients, Acala’s Dan Reecer talk about Defi Hub, Parity’s Shawn Tabrizi presentation on XCM, Moonbeam’s Derek Yoo session on Multichain used cases on Moonbeam, and OriginTrail’s Branimir Rakic overview on The Google of Web3.

It would be quite monotonous to list out every recording, so here’s a playlist link. For an even more extensive playlist then check out the one put together by Parachains.info. Where Astar’s Sota Watanabe’s recording has received one of the playlist’s highest viewing figures, as it came with the announcement of the first DotSama WASM implementation going live.

With Jay Chrawanna and various WagMedia community members on the road, then we look forward to more content to follow - especially Jay’s interview with Gav that comes along with Mamacita beers.

Before heading over to the usual flurry of news and content, why not check out Pnin’s awesome live thread of Decoded Day 1 in Berlin to catch a glimpse of life on the road at the event.

Jay interviewing Dr. Gavin Wood. Check out the Mamacita Beers!
