Polkadot Series — Where to Start
This is a curated reading path, not the default reverse-chronological blog order. If you are completely new to Polkadot, reading in the following sequence will be the most efficient:
| Step | Topic | Article |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Core concepts, vision, architecture | Polkadot — The Next-Generation Blockchain |
| 2 | Polkadot × pluralistic governance | Plurality × OpenGov |
| 3 | Next-generation core architecture: JAM | JAM — A Scalable Trustless Virtual Machine |
| 4 | Integration and broader context | The Polkadot section of 2026 Tech Roadmap |
Navigation links between articles are available in the left sidebar. This path will walk you through the full iteration from Polkadot 1.0 → 2.0 → JAM.
Why a Series?
The blog is sorted in reverse chronological order, which is unfriendly to readers who want to go deep on a single topic — new and old articles are mixed together, and the same topic may be scattered across three years. The Series section is the thematic reading version:
- Polkadot learning path (this page)
- RF / hardware engineering path (TBD)
- Space × AI investment path (TBD)
The latter two are still being organized and will be added later.
