In this episode, host Yogesh Kumar welcomes Sergej Sakac, the co-developer and founder of RegionX. Sergej shares his personal journey from making initial contributions to Substrate and Polkadot. He then joined the Polkadot Blockchain Academy and was then inducted into the prestigious Polkadot Fellowship. He provides an in-depth look at the decentralized structure of the fellowship and the criteria for joining. Sergej talks about the Agile Coretime mode and RegionX novel approach to procuring core time on Polkadot, which allows multiple projects to share a single core on a month-by-month basis. He further elaborates on RegionX's innovative decentralized and community driven coretime marketplace model, which enables users to purchase an entire core and sell unused portions to other projects. This segment highlights the cost-saving benefits for both sellers and buyers. The discussion concludes with a comprehensive examination of elastic scaling, the new use cases JamChain enables, and the development progress of Polkadot v2. Insights into the RegionX team’s geographical distribution and the timeline for their testnet and Polkadot deployment are also provided. This episode delivers valuable expertise on the Polkadot ecosystem and RegionX's pioneering solutions for optimising resource utilisation. ..... Want to join us as a speaker?

In this episode, we’re excited to have 'Hristo Gergov' from Lime Chain joining us. Lime Chain is a company specializing in customizing web3 and blockchain projects. They’ve been actively involved in the Polkadot ecosystem for three years now, contributing to various projects such as Gosamble and Fruzhin. Gosamble serves as an alternative to Substrate, built on Golang. Meanwhile, Fruzhin is a Java implementation of the Polkadot Host, aiming to enhance the security of the Polkadot Protocol by functioning as an authoring and relaying node. Hristo also sheds light on a proposal for a conformance test set leveraging the Zombienet framework, whose purpose is to ensure protocol compliance across all Polkadot implementations. This initiative seeks to enhance reliability and resilience within the ecosystem, ultimately contributing to its growth and success. During the podcast, Yogesh engages in an interactive discussion with Hristo, delving into the rationale behind the conformance test suite and its relationship with Lime Chain and Fruzhin. They also explore plans for implementing hosts on Polkadot 2.0 and discuss the challenges and experiences faced during the project’s development. Additionally, they touch upon the timeframe for the project’s completion and how other parachains could leverage the host implementation built by Zombienet.

The Podcast was joined by Nikolas from the Polkadot Tooling Collective, Gautam from Blockdeep Labs, Yogesh from PolkadotGPT, Bruno from Rogue and Esubalew from MobilePolka. They discussed their initiatives and platforms they are working upon. Nikolas started the conversation with his introduction, and then he informed about the vision behind Polkadot tooling collective, how did they get the idea, the fellowship members that are involved in the project, mission of the Polkadot Collective, the updates and current status of the Polkadot Collective and ends on futuristic approach of the project.  The second speaker Gautam Dhameja started with his introduction and about Blockdeep Laps, he also told us about his experience in Parity Technology. The mission and goal of the Blockdeep Laps is being discussed by the speaker. Based in Berlin, their project has reach to provide services to many remote jobs.  Our Third speaker Yogesh who has been a part of Polkadot for a while now. By managing his day job he figured out a way to automated things on Polkadot by integrated external API’s using GPT. He created a a custom ChatGPT allowing everyone to go through with the recent polkaGPT posts, get addresses, get balances and images based on Polkadot ecosystem. The vision is to create an automated platform where people would be able to manage balance transfer across different blockchains without actually needing to follow manual steps.  Next speaker Bruno starts by telling about his project the Pop Network. Pop Network is a subproject of Rogue Network with having Six Parity Engineers. This team is working on a next level technology to be implementing on Polkadot Relay Chain that would allow deploying logic to the Polkadot using the PoP CLI which is a tool to allow creating smart contract on Polkadot.  Our last speaker of AwesomeDot Podcast#1 is Esubalew Amenu who started his speech by telling us about their project named as MobilePolka. It’s basically a Polkadot Explorer Mobile Application for analysing Polkadot blockchain. Their vision is to create a user-friendly interface for the users to interact with Polkadot Blockchain. .....
