2. In a three-hour interview, Gavin shared why he chose to leave Parity, establish Fellowship, and actively become an ordinary participant within the Polkadot ecosystem. He talked about demystification, governance, token politics, and the future of 'digital gold.' He is not exiting but practicing the philosophy he has always advocated — using actions to utilize the system he built to prove the feasibility of this philosophy. This decision is a return to a liberation of creativity for him, and for Polkadot, it represents an important leap towards true decentralization.

4. Gavin Wood responds to the bold idea of 'PoP replacing DOT staking' 🤯👀
If enough real human individuals are gathered in the PoP (Proof of Personhood) system, then 'personhood' itself could become the 'stake' in Polkadot consensus. Once dishonest behavior occurs, one could lose this identity, using PoP to ensure network security. In response, Gavin stated: There are still many unresolved issues with this idea, but it could indeed become a direction of exploration that ensures blockchain security without the need for substantial capital staking. 👀 x.com/polkaworld_pro
