Polkadot, a blockchain network, is being built to enable Web3.0. This will allow users to control their data and ensure that markets benefit from network efficiency. Gavin Wood, a former co-founder and CTO at Ethereum, founded Polkadot in 2016. Polkadot's technology solves the major problems that have hindered blockchain adoption over the past few years. Parity Technologies created Polkadot's Substrate software development toolkit that allows blockchain developers to create their own custom, fit for use blockchains. Polkadot allows multiple blockchains to communicate with each other, allows for easy upgrades, and introduces "shared Security", a plug and play network security model that allows developers focus on the technology instead of spending time and resources recruiting operators to run a new Blockchain.
