Hello! And welcome to this video series! And welcome to the world and ecosystem of Polkadot technology. Today we’ll be diving into WHAT Polkadot is exactly…. Which is actually a rather complex topic. There are a lot of things that Polkadot “is”. And you may have heard some of these terms before - Relay chain, parachains, BABE, GRANDPA - when I was first learning about Polkadot and blockchain technology in general, I was rather overwhelmed by all of the new vocabulary. It felt like a new language! 

So, if you’re feeling a little lost - have no fear - we’re going to try and break all of that down for you today. 

To get started, we’re going to dive into a few explainer videos which cover the core concepts you absolutely need to know about Polkadot. 

Then once we understand that, we’ll go into HOW polkadot actually works! 

And lastly, we’ll take a look at the docs as well as take a brief quiz to ensure that you’re getting the hang of things! 

Have fun and welcome to the world of Polkadot :)
