According to PolkaWorld's released Polkadot Weekly, Gavin Wood recently published the 2024 annual summary, believing that 2023/2024 is a watershed year for Polkadot, with a significant shift in its core objectives. The focus has moved from achieving the limited product goals outlined in the white paper to optimization, stability improvement, and product refinement to better meet market demands. Technically, many significant advancements were proposed and implemented in 2024; ecologically, projects represented by Mythical Game are pushing Polkadot's performance to its limits; additionally, Gavin also proposed JAM in 2024 to further realize his Web3 vision. In summary, 2025 is worth looking forward to.
In addition, Gavin proposed Proof-of-Personhood, a mechanism that will be gradually rolled out in 2025, aimed at being an antidote to the threats posed by generative AI to the free world. It algorithmically conceptualizes 'personhood' and combines ZK technology to protect privacy, providing a trustworthy identity solution for Web3 and Web2.
