Polkadot's Future: The Big Jam - TOKEN2049 Dubai 2024
Explore the innovative future of blockchain technology with Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Polkadot, in his enlightening presentation "Polkadot's Future: The Big Jam" from TOKEN2049 Dubai 2024. Gavin introduces 'Jam', a groundbreaking rollup reactor poised to transform blockchain efficiency and scalability. Designing Jam around secure and audited rollups, Gavin provides a deep dive into how this technology advances data computation and resilience. A key innovation within Jam is the PVM (Polkadot Virtual Machine), a new virtual machine architecture drawing upon the trends in RISC-V, promising enhanced interoperability.
Gavin encourages a decentralized development model, emphasizing the release of the 'Gray Paper'—a formal, mathematical protocol specification that seeks broad-based, diverse contributions from developers globally. The ambitious Jam Prize incentivizes independent development efforts across multiple implementation tiers and languages, boosting global participation and innovation.
A new era for Polkadot is envisioned through a meticulous ratification and migration process from the relay chain to the Jam chain. This process notably encourages thorough decentralized audits and transparency. The talk underscores a commitment to meticulous development to deliver a robust, sustainable network infrastructure.
