Polkadot has attracted significant attention since the project’s inception in 2016 due to its founding team. Polkadot is the brainchild of Dr. Gavin Wood, one of the original co-founders of Ethereum and who came up with the idea of the Solidity programming language.
Wood left his position as CTO at Ethereum in 2016, shortly after the platform launched on mainnet. He’d already shared a vision for how Ethereum’s development could pan out – but it seems his co-founders disagreed. So, Wood decided to implement his vision as Polkadot, a new project.
