My message to the Polkadot community.
OG since the original whitepaper. Held for 6+ years through all the promises. We voted for a supply cap. Then Gavin pushes $JAMKB a new token.
New app previewed only to VIPs while real holders get nothing. You marketed decentralization.

Polkadot holders are exhausted.
2021 → 2026: Price crushed, endless delays, "JAM is coming" narrative.
We finally voted for hard supply cap on DOT.
Now 2 days ago: Gavin drops "DOT DAO and the Need for $JAMKB"
This feels like pure manipulation.
Gavin Wood publicly shut down the JAM token idea back in June 2025 on the Polkadot Forum. He said:“I, personally, am not planning to launch a new token based on the JAM protocol. I don’t consider it sensible for Parity and the Web3 Foundation to launch such a token...” #DOT
After 6 years of waiting & DOT down 98% from ATH, we voted for a 2.1B supply cap. Now Gavin flips and pushes $JAMKB a brand new token.
This is NOT decentralization. It's moving goalposts.
No new tokens. Keep DOT as the only native token.
Speak up NOW
#JAMKB
This is not it. I'm done watching. Conviction gone. Newcomers: be careful. This is the same old story. #Polkadot#JAMKB ethereum:0x8d010bf9c26881788b4e6bf5fd1bdc358c8f90b8
@sorpaas On top of the JAMKB flip-flop
The new "Polkadot App" was previewed only to a selected few at Web3 Summit. Looks AI-generated. No wide open beta for the OGs who waited 6 years.
This is NOT "for everyone." Real decentralization means community access not VIP previews.
@XodeNet We were told Polkadot is the most decentralized chain.
Yet founder changes mind from "not sensible" last year to actively pushing new token now.
Even if it starts in DAO, history shows where this leads: split liquidity, diluted attention, broken promises.
@Daniel_Launchly@Polkadot@gavofyork@gavunwud Polkadot recently passed governance changes (via OpenGov referenda) to introduce a hard cap of 2.1 billion DOT and reduce annual inflation significantly (from ~120M DOT/year to stepped-down lower amounts). This was a response to long-standing complaints about unlimited issuance.
