Gavin Wood, bruh known for being one of the low-key co-founders of Ethereum, rolled up with Vitalik Buterin, Charles Hoskinson, Anthony Di Lorio, Mihai Alisie, Amir Chetrit, Joseph Lubin, and Jeffrey Wilke. They be like #SquadGoals 🤟.
After helping to blow up Ethereum, Wood flexed and founded Parity Technologies, the squad behind the Polkadot blockchain, which is basically Ethereum's rival now. Wood's the big brain 🧠 behind Polkadot's moves.
Wood slid into the team vibe in early 2014, chillin' alongside Lubin and Wilke.
Buterin, Di Lorio, Hoskinson, Alisie, and Chetrit were the OG five founders, kicking it off in 2013. OG vibes only! 🙌
Wood jumped onto the Ethereum gang to help Buterin turn Ethereum from an idea on paper to actual blockchain magic. #Goals ✨
Wood went on to kickstart the Ethereum Foundation and held it down as its first CTO. 🔧
After saying bye to the Ethereum Foundation in 2016, Wood vibed into founding Parity Technologies and the Web 3 Foundations, launching Polkadot (DOT) and Kusama (KSM) with the crew.
While Wood was smashing Ethereum tasks, he wrote the Yellow Paper that explained the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). 📜
Wood dipped from the Ethereum development squad in 2016, leaving people guessing why. Rumor alert! 💬 Could've been funding drama or too slow progress, cramping his style. 🚶♂️
In October 2022, Wood noped out of his CEO role at Parity Technologies, sliding over to being chief architect (still holding the most shares, BTW). His call 🚀 to focus on taking Polkadot to the next level.
more relevant to peeps all over. Kicking things off by collabing with the community to design some wild chain-integrated social features, cuz we gotta build a legit Web3 platform. 🔗💬
