The core should be developed in a trusted, secure programming language, called ().
Using substrate_ allows us to quickly build radically new implementations of long-trusted standards and protocols. substrate_ is an out-of-the-box blockchain building framework.
Also:
substrate_ is written in rust.
substrate_ compiles to WASM for highly portable runtimes. (the language of all modern web browsers).
Polkadot is a new blockchain network that turns blockchain into a multi-threaded multi-core processor.
Key strengths in the Polkadot network:
Building with substrate_ also allows the opportunity to share network security with the in the form of a parachain or parathread.
Polkadot itself was built with substrate_.
Both Polkadot and substrate_ we made open source through the work of the world-renowned .
Polkadot will host multiple blockchains serving multiple purposes increasing the interoperability of web3 applications.
Polkadot (and similar substrate_ based blockchains) will make it easy for users and developers to interact with with different services on different chains such as
insurance providers
deed of trust record keepers
legal services
underwriting, etc.
Any application built with substrate_ can easily be configured to operate completely independently from the Polkadot.Network.
this proposed standard is still undergoing research but serves as an example of the kind of need and the kind of solution.
IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol intended to serve as a functionally immutable permanent record.
IPFS (or a similar protocol) would
allow "proof" that a document was the formal record document and
that it was signed by a verifiable authority of record.
