Polkadot is coming to Rust Nation '23
Rust has always been an integral part of the Polkadot ecosystem. It is the foundation of Substrate - the blockchain framework Polkadot and all of its parachains are built upon - and a large portion of the Polkadot community are amazing Rust developers. So it only seemed logical for Polkadot to join Rust Nation.
What is Rust Nation?
Rust Nation ‘23 is the first UK conference dedicated to the Rust language. It will be held at The Brewery, in the heart of London, on the 16th & 17th of February 2023 and will include workshops, keynotes, four speaker tracks, and an evening social event hosted by the Polkadot community.
Polkadot @ Rust Nation
During the main conference day of Rust Nation ‘23 (February 17th), you’ll have the opportunity to meet with engineers, developers, and other team members from Parity Technologies - the company behind the Substrate blockchain framework. So if you plan on attending the conference, make sure you drop by the Polkadot booth to discuss all things Rust and Web3. You’ll have the opportunity to discover how the teams on Polkadot are pushing the boundaries of Web3, learn more about all the cool stuff being built on this next-gen tech, and find out how you can join the movement for a better web.
The Polkadot Sessions
On the evening of February 17th, the Polkadot community will host a post-conference party. All attendees of the main conference day are invited. Drop by the King George room of The Brewery from 5:30pm - 9:30pm for food, drinks, and amazing sessions from the best DJs on Parity’s staff.
Let’s connect at Rust Nation ‘23 and discover how to build a better web together. See you there.

JAM Session: Gavin Wood Reveals Bold Vision for Polkadot's Next Revolution
Yesterday at Token 2049 Dubai, Gavin Wood announced a bold vision for the next generation of Polkadot technology. In line with the other groundbreaking firsts that Polkadot has brought to the market, this new vision is set to revolutionize the future of Web3. It will provide the speed, scale, full decentralization, and ease of use needed to drive forward deep innovation across not just Web3, but the entire tech landscape. At the heart of this vision is JAM, a new version of the Polkadot chain t
The landscape of trustless bridges on Polkadot
With research and writing from Oliver Brett, Adrian Catangiu, and Aidan Musnitzky, this article explores the rich environment of bridge building, both within Polkadot and to external ecosystems. Any Web3 protocol with true aspirations of interoperability needs to consider the development and deployment of bridges to external networks, and in this sense Polkadot is no different. Blockchain bridges are, in essence, mechanisms for two sovereign chains with different technological foundations to o
