On July 7th, Polkadot founder Gavin Wood delivered a speech at the Polkadot Decoded conference, saying that Polkadot may cancel the parachain auction and switch to an application-centric model. He put forward a new perspective on Polkadot: no longer limited by the original parachain and relay chain, but focusing on the lower-level resources required by the blockchain-computing core (core), the Polkadot The card is seen as a multi-core computer.
Gavin explained that the goal of Polkadot is not only about the chain, but about the space and the underlying resources required by the chain. He emphasized that Polkadot is a platform for builders to create applications and for users to use applications. Essentially, it is not a platform for hosting blockchains. Chaining happens to be one of the ways that Polkadot can be useful, but probably not the only way. Overall, Polkadot is a resilient, general-purpose, continuous computing provider.
