Smart Contracts on Polkadot.

WASM conference

31.05.2022

A 1-day virtual event dedicated to the Polkadot smart contracts. We will bring top parachains, prospects, and builders together to create the future of Polkadot.

WASM conference starting:

Coming Soon...

Welcome to the first WASM conference - Smart Contracts on Polkadot!

Our plan is to collaborate with WASM stakeholders to discuss and answer questions like - “Why is WASM a top choice base layer for next-generation dApp development?“ We believe WASM to be the future of smart contracts development.

We know the attendees could help grow the ecosystem by resolving pertinent issues, accelerating innovation, and attracting top talent to the Polkadot ecosystem. The solution is to be the starting point and face the reality of lacking knowledge. So be the voice of WASM smart contracts - it's our next aim!

A look into VMs and smart contract runtimes

An overview of new virtual machines within Substrate runtimes. The talk will be mainly focused on the engines running smart contracts. The different design choices that different ecosystems use. How is CosmWasm different from ink! and how does it relate to XBI and XCVM. Will there be one standard or multiple competing standards for engines running smart contracts in the Polkadot ecosystem?
