Key items

  • Coretime Q2 on Polkadot
  • Bridges Q2 on Polkadot
  • Elastic Scaling (Q3 on Polkadot)
  • EVM + Yul + PolkaVM prototype in Q3
  • 1-click to prod for Parachains in Q4
  • Omni node in Q4
  • Lots of documentation: new dev site by EoQ
  • Lots of tests and hopefully better stability and less disruption

Tradeoffs

7 of 11

If you cannot have everything:

  • Feature velocity v.s reliability?
  • Large customers v.s startups?
  • Innovation v.s. stability ?
  • Infighting v.s. other ecosystems
  • etc

Velocity v.s Reliability

  • Would be great to have both :) need to decide what good means
    • Good: relay chain running? All parachains producing blocks? XCM queues are ok?
    • "Expect chaos on Kusama"
  • How to go there?
    • SLO … controlled by the Fellowship
    • LTS
    • More testing before prod and better designed rollout

It's done!

  • Code is done
  • Code is tested? By whom?
  • Code is documented
  • Code has an "hello world"
  • Code is live on Westend, Rococo, Kusama, Polkadot
  • Someone is using it
  • Many are using it

Innovation v.s. Stability

  • Innovation
    • Fun to develop
    • Good for marketing
    • New likely means better
  • Stability
    • Can focus on other things
    • I can rely on deliveries
    • Also enable innovation

Questions?

Do we have the correct balance?
