Paving the way for the next great shift of the internet

Work with us


IN THE PRESS




MISSION

Our passionate community envisions a web where your digital identity and data
are yours alone–where power is restored to its users. Together, we’re building a
fully decentralized web where users are in control. It’s the digital revolution
you’ve been waiting for.

Build with Polkadot


“IMAGINE A DECENTRALIZED UTOPIA WHERE APPS, SERVICES, AND INSTITUTIONS CAN
CONNECT AND THRIVE WITHOUT THE MEDDLING OF UNTRUSTWORTHY GIANTS. THAT IS THE
FUTURE WE ARE BUILDING.”

Fabian Gompf, CEO of Web3 Foundation


FOUNDED BY LEADING BLOCKCHAIN BUILDERS & VISIONARIES

Founder


GAVIN WOOD

Meet Dr. Gavin Wood, founder of Polkadot. As co-founder and CTO of Ethereum, he
helped develop the pioneering blockchain and he created Solidity, the
smart-contract language. After contributing significantly to Ethereum's early
development, Gavin set his sights on developing a more scalable and
interoperable blockchain network. Enter Polkadot. Wood's groundbreaking work has
earned him recognition as one of the most influential figures in the blockchain
space, and Polkadot is leading the charge towards a more interconnected and
scalable decentralized web. Gavin and Parity’s team of engineers and product
remain hard at work pushing Polkadot forward.

ROBERT HABERMEIER

Robert Habermeier is a founding engineer of the Polkadot Network. During his
7-year tenure at Parity, Robert was responsible for the vast majority of
Proof-of-Stake and consensus code for Polkadot and its underlying framework
Substrate, including the code for parachain consensus. His technical leadership
actively informed and shaped the Polkadot protocol design we know today. Prior
to his work on Polkadot, Robert was a core developer on the Parity-Ethereum
client, the first production-ready third-party Ethereum node.

ONE VISION, ONE DAO

Polkadot isn’t run by a faceless corporation; it’s powered and supported by the
largest DAO in Web3. Our community calls the shots, with no central point of
control. Instead, a dedicated group of appointed members and teams help make
sure everything runs smoothly. Meet some of the key players leading the change
in this new digital frontier.
