Polkadot is evolving, enter JAM, the Join‑Accumulate Machine, its ambitious successor to the Relay Chain. JAM transforms @Polkadot into a modular Web3 “supercomputer,” blending Polkadot’s sharding with Ethereum-like smart contracts, heres what you need to know 🧵👇 (1/6)
Polkadot just rolled out a big upgrade (v1.6.1) that seriously boosts its speed up to 623k TPS. With new features like Asynchronous Backing and Agile Coretime, it’s fully ready for zk tech This is a huge win for areas like AI, gaming, and DeFi that are building on it. (1/3)
Shoutout to the gigichains and smart followers of polkadot (2/6) @milianstx @wanghebbf @alacheng @ThePhunky1 @alice_und_bob @blockTVBee @GldnCalf @DeFiOracle_ @web3kasper @nrlartt @csaint02 @0xgoku_ @EmilKietzman @HoudiniWizard @crazino87 @Kripto_Ally @lolmcshizz @code0xff @AndreyMcQueen @Hope_web3_ @stakenode_dev @Azurite_NFT @filippoweb3 @D0tSama @LeemoXD @Flavio_leMec @Vi_cdan @0xyigido_ @ET90266 @TheMoonBearer @FriedrichBtc @0xgulali @ThePhantomTom @TheDotsTalks @KarimJDDA @CryptoCappex @defisensei7
How JAM works: + Off‑chain: Collect & Refine happen externally + On‑chain: Join & Accumulate perform core validation Designed for scalability, parallel cores, continuous block execution, RISC‑V/PolkaVM runtime, 5mil+ TPS and exabyte‑level data (3/6)
That means: True multi‑core execution Seamless, coherent compute across shards Developers deploy parachains or service modules, all using $DOT, no new token on @Polkadot (4/6)
Despite talk of a $JAM token, Gavin Wood and leadership say DOT remains Polkadot’s native token JAM uses $DOT for governance, staking, fees (5/6)
JAM marks the jump to @Polkadot 2.0, flexible, modular, high‑throughput, and developer friendly. It unlocks DeFi, gaming, AI, offchain services all under a unified, coherent Layer 1 powered by DOT. (6/6)
