Missed Web3 Summit 2026? From Polkadot Trinity and JAM to private payments, proof-of-personhood, and DOTDAO, we've compiled the key announcements, demos, discussions, and takeaways from Berlin in an initial report. Read it here: https://t.co/yh7aAaCw98 https://t.co/E8LNgqJfoU

Humanity. Developed and prototyped by Parity Tech. Tested during the Web3 Summit and discussed by @KarimJDDA and @gavofyork in their talks. It is a system with on-chain logic to anonymously prove that you are a human instead of a bot. Not to identify you by date of birth and legal name. Prove that you are human in a privacy preserving and decentralised way.

To @paritytech I am tired of the endless cycle of demos, prototypes, proof-of-concepts and promises. At Web3 Summit there was PoP, Playground, AI agents, ticketing, payments and more. The technology looks incredible. Nobody is questioning the engineering talent. What I am questioning is why we are still having the same conversation years later. Don't tell me it is coming to a testnet. Don't tell me it is coming soon. Don't tell me there will be another OpenGov proposal. Don't tell me there will be another curator group, working group or treasury-funded initiative that will somehow get this over the finish line. The problem is not governance. The problem is not funding. The problem is not ideas. The problem is execution. Parity built this technology. Parity understands this technology better than anyone. If these products are important for the future of Polkadot then Parity needs to own the responsibility of getting them into the hands of users. Because the market has already spoken. While we cele

some of my reflections after web3 summit: parity has built some incredible things which completely abstract the blockchain(s) away. this was the original theory behind polkadot - blockchains which all serve different purposes, but work together in ways to enable a cohesive whole. this whole allows us to build protocols on top of those infrastructure components which are decentralized, uncensorable versions of things which web2 developers are well-acquainted with: message passing, hot storage, syncing and notifications, along with the added bonus of having native (fully private!) payment rails alongside the entire thing. in case it's not obvious, privacy for not just payments but for all things polkadot is a theme here. this means decentralized web hosting (yes, your react site will work too), addressable sites (dotNS), universal sign in (with the polkadot app) - while keeping the ability to stay private across different services, and selectively choose who or what you reveal your identities to. it might no

Bittensor co-founder. This is important for everybody in AI to read. A passage that got my attention: “Bittensor is built on one of the most profound, well-built technologies ever created: Substrate, Polkadot tooling for the creation of blockchains, which is upgradable, connectable, hard-packed with an SDK and cryptography to make it resistant to any group while remaining mutable, extremely fast-running, and decentralized.”
