Pre-Web3 Summit Updates

Hi all,

As many of you will already know, the Web3 Summit returns to Berlin on the 18th of June. It’s a gathering that has, over the years, become something of a fixture in the calendar for those of us who care about building an open, decentralised web. This year’s programme promises a wealth of educational and excitingly engaging talks, spanning the technical, the philosophical, and everything in between, and we couldn’t be more pleased to be part of it.

It is with some excitement that we can confirm Gavin Wood and several other of my Parity colleagues will be attending the Summit to showcase the massive technical advancements we’ve made over the past several months. There is a great deal to share, and a setting full of curious, technically minded people feels like the right place to do so.

We have been busily assembling a collection of proof of concepts, and, true to the ethos that has guided Parity from the beginning, every one of them will be made open source on our Github between now and the Summit. We would love nothing more than to see the community get its hands dirty: engage with them, deploy them, remix them, break them, and tell us what you think, truthfully.

Some examples of these proof-of-concept projects include ticketing, point-of-sale systems, and fresh AI-assisted developer tooling.

On the infrastructure side, new changes introduce new names including Capacity, Levity, and Nominality. While the names may be new to you, these updates encompass scalable protocols utilised for the synchronous and asynchronous passing of authenticated and indexed messages and large data payloads off-chain, also on-chain ownership of DNS-like namespaces and the individuality mechanisms teased by Gavin Wood at the Web3Summit last year.

This is only the start, mind you. We fully expect to open-source more and more of these proofs of concept over the coming months, and few things delight us quite as much as watching others take our technology and do something with it we hadn’t thought of ourselves.

See you in Berlin at the Web3 Summit!

Exciting stuff! Looking forward to learning more. Especially about the collaborative aspects of playground.dot.

I get that developers are used to Github… But maybe we can build a Web3 alternative. With ContribNet we are trying, although the current UX is still far away from what Github offers.

will not be attending W3S, would love to but can’t make it. looking forward to seeing what is coming out of Parity this year.
