Gavin Wood, renowned for co-founding Ethereum, Polkadot, and Kusama, introduced the JAM Chain as a cutting-edge protocol during his keynote at Token2024. Unlike traditional software, JAM is designed from the ground up to prioritize speed and decentralization. Wood emphasized that JAM is permissionless, allowing users to deploy code and execute operations efficiently, akin to Ethereum's gas system.
The JAM Gray Paper elucidates how this protocol will deliver smart contract functionality through a hybrid decentralized system, echoing Ethereum's EVM while innovatively leveraging Polkadot's infrastructure. Wood highlighted the JAM prize initiative by the Web3 Foundation, enticing developers to explore and contribute to various tiers of JAM implementations.
Moreover, the Polkadot Fellowship, entrusted with Polkadot's evolution, will soon finalize the specifications needed to operationalize the JAM Chain. This initiative underscores Wood's commitment to fostering a vibrant ecosystem of blockchain developers and enthusiasts.
With JAM Chain, Gavin Wood continues to shape the future of blockchain technology, embodying the spirit of innovation and decentralization. As we await the deployment of this transformative protocol, the promise of faster, more efficient smart contracts heralds a new era in decentralized finance and beyond.
