The true value of Polkadot is about leveraging the unique value proposition offered by different
chains, and use the collaborative potential of those chains to build inter-chain applications to
solve real-world problems. Those applications will thus need to span across chains, and have a
seamless UX so that users are not aware and do not need to understand how actions are performed by a
mosaic of cross-chain transactions.

Increasingly fewer tasks will be handled by the relay-chain, which will focus efforts only on
securing the network and providing secure message-passing capability. System parachains will be used

### Agile Polkadot Representation

Polkadot 1.0 was represented with the
[relay-chain surrounded by parachains](./polkadot-v1.md#polkadots-representation). Following the new
application-centric vision, Polkadot can be better represented using the figure below.

Polkadot should be an integrated system (big circle), a single computer on which many applications
run (dots). There are boundaries between business logic components of Polkadot (dashed lines). Those
boundaries can enclose parachains or core contracts. Applications should be able to communicate with
each other within and across those boundaries. Last but not least, similarly to a laptop, how
Polkadot works must not be important to the users who just need it to use applications.
