Polkadot Builder Party Talk: Introduction to Polkadot Products | Karim Jedda

​People use products, not protocols. While Web3 has immense potential, the ecosystem currently suffers from too many Web2-SaaS copycats rather than genuine Web3-native applications built from the ground up for decentralized environments.

​History shows us that groundbreaking technology often requires the right interface to achieve mainstream adoption, just as the transformers architecture existed for years before ChatGPT wrapped it in a simple, accessible chat interface and revolutionized the industry. Similarly, Nvidia's success came from making powerful technology usable for everyday applications.

​Parity's strategy embraces this principle by focusing on building true Web3 products that prioritize data ownership and user respect, not just replicating existing models. With Gavin Wood now back at the helm, Parity is committed to creating Web3 experiences designed for humans, not just developers and crypto enthusiasts.
