"Decentralization and security are not optional features.” - Gavin Wood

Polkadot's Nakamoto Coefficient (a measure of the smallest number independent entities that can collectively shutdown a blockchain) just increased to 123 👀 The higher the coefficient of a network, the more resilient the network is to attacks 🛡️ source: @chainflowpos

Keynote at @Web3summit 2019: @Snowden highlighted problems w/ centralized power in tech, and argued that privacy + decentralization are key to protecting our freedoms. He challenged developers to build systems that don’t just replace old centralized power w/ new gatekeepers.

@gavofyork Music to my ears

At TNW conference in 2022 with Edward Snowden & Gavin Wood Gav said: When building a technology there is a specific order for the foundation 1. Safe & secure 2. Functional 3. Joyous & convenient You cannot skip first two, if You want billions of people to use it, rather than thousands Thinking ahead is the key 🔑

@gavofyork $DOT 💯

DOT is the best blockchain that solves the trilemma. It’s a decentralized PoS chain (Nakamoto Coefficient 123) and highly secure, not just on the Relay chain but across many chains in the DOT ecosystem through XCM. This results in unmatched scalability without sacrificing security or decentralization. The only thing you need to do is continuously buy $DOT—never sell!

@gavofyork Absolutely right! 🔒 Decentralization and security are the foundation of a truly resilient blockchain ecosystem. No compromises. #Polkadot #Web3 #Decentralization #BlockchainSecurity
