💥 The individuality system will also be integrated into @Polkadot Hub!
Currently, the positioning of Polkadot Hub is as a Polkadot L1 smart contract platform! The Hub is not a replacement for parachains but a supplement, aimed at enabling developers to build applications faster and more broadly.
1/
However, having only the smart contract infrastructure is not enough. For the Hub to succeed, it needs stronger incentives and user mechanisms!
Gavin clearly pointed out: technical strength does not equate to functionality; it needs to attract developers, users, teams, and entrepreneurs through a "usage layer motivation."

The secret to the success of Web2 giants is: free services, such as:
• Free social
• Free search
• Free payment
Users like "free," which is the foundation of internet growth.
For Polkadot to compete, it must also provide users with a similar experience.
3/
The premise of free services is a strong anti-witch mechanism. Without anti-witch measures:
• Free services will be abused
• The network cannot bear the costs
• The incentive system cannot operate
Gavin's view:
Free services = must first solve witch attacks
This is the fundamental reason for the existence of the individuality system Project Individuality (PoI, PoVI).
