We had the pleasure to host Bill Laboon, Director of Education and Governance Initiatives at the Web3 Foundation, at our 5th International Summer School Deep Dive into Blockchain. In his insightful lecture on Polkadot, Bill highlighted that the future of #Web3 isn’t based on a single blockchain and that there is no 'one size fits all' solution. He emphasized that #Web3 depends on openness and interoperability. Bill provided an in-depth discussion on the #Polkadot network, its architecture, the Web3 Foundation, Web3 scaling, and Polkadot #parachains. The session concluded with an engaging and interactive Q&A. We are grateful for Bill's participation and the valuable insights he shared with our students. #ddib24 #summerschool #uzh University of Zurich #zurich #polkadotparachains #web3 #web3foundation #blockchain #blockchaintechnology
