sub0 Asia 2024 - Christian Dirk (OAK Network)
summary
Argues that Polkadot growth stalls from missing user-facing infrastructure and analytics, not consensus tech; demonstrates a working automation: Oak Network’s cross-chain auto‑compounding and recurring payments, and shows DeFiLlama omits projects like Centrifuge so liquidity is misreported. Proposes a Polkadot spirit tree — a clear mapping UI for cross‑chain flows — and names useful tooling (SubQuery, Subs, Polkassembly, Subsquare, Velocity Labs). Uses RuneScape’s purple party hat inflation (25M → 42.2B gold) as a concrete analogy for scarce on‑chain assets.
