→ In 2018, Gavin created Substrate, a modular framework for creating DIY blockchains. It was designed to give devs the ability to customize their chain while also reaping the advantages of shared security/composability. → Polkadot mainnet launched under a proof-of-authority consensus model in 2020 and transitioned to Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus months later. → The first L1 parachain went live on Polkadot in December, 2021.
