$Dot community we should push for @gavofyork to go to the White House Crypto Summit. He can easily dm @IOHK_Charles@VitalikButerin@CathieDWood and get in.
No more sitting on the sidelines. You coded enough… get back on the forefront! This is a new age…
Beamswap just had an incredible experience at ETH Denver! 🔥🗻❄️
The energy and innovation in the DeFi space are unmatched! Great chatting with the @MoonbeamNetwork team, and we’re excited about the @DataHaven_xyz partnership and what it brings to the ecosystem.
Building on Moonbeam just got an upgrade 🙌
@DappThatAI’s AI-powered dev tooling is here, making it faster & easier for builders to innovate on Moonbeam.
So Dr Gavin Wood just ran the Doom game completely on-chain on JAM (Join-Accumulate-Machine) at Fudan University in Shanghai
JAM is the world's first decentralized supercomputer, that aims to replace Polkadot 2.0 in the future
Why is this Doom demo important in Web2 & Web3? 🧵
this wasn't a modified version of Doom to put it on the blockchain - just the original game recompiled to target the Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM)
PVM powers JAM'S computational layer (like EVM in Ethereum)
the demo proved JAM can handle general-purpose computation, not just blockchain-specific tasks
it's the first step to bring web2->web3, as JAM just runs arbitrary software
this was all done on CoreVM - think of it as a "docker server" sitting on JAM
CoreVM enables the execution of complex programs directly on-chain
how?
JAM uses RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture used to develop custom processors for a variety of apps
It gives excellent pre-existing tooling for PVM in languages like Rust, C, C++ etc.
🔹CoreVM runs any PVM binary =
🔹anything you can target through RISC-V =
🔹anything written in C, C++, Rust etc.
no more apps adapting to different VM's (virtual machines) -> devs simply write apps in traditional existing architectures that computer (CPUs) know for ages.
how did JAM handle doom?
CoreVM is literally fetching the Doom textures from a 1.6 petabyte data availability layer instead of a local disc
Gav mentioned it used a "decentralized memory managament unit" that fletches & flushes RAM pages into data availability
in the graypaper we can read, that it emulates modern CPU architecture with a "cache affinity" approach - data is kept close to relevant Cores for efficiency & the eventual consistency is maintained across the system
Gav found a mechanism for managing memory pages in a decentralized way (look functions like Fetch data host-call or Write-storage host-call in the graypaper)
it just provides a 32-bit addressable memory for anything you want
the Doom game didn't even know, it was on-chain
the demo was shown in 30fps (frames per second), but Gav says it could be also 900!
people's eyes can see 30-60fps
CoreVM is just a little part of JAM, but already shows, that Polkadot going in the "Web3 Cloud" direction is a fantastic idea
JAM is a trustless, scalable alternative to expensive, centralized Web2 infrastructures like Amazon Web Service (AWS)
it has 341 Cores, 1.6petabyte storage & 682Mb/s memory bandwidth
how does it look in the Web3 world comparing to plain EVM without scaling solutions?
🔹Ethereum L1: 1.25 gas/µs
🔹JAM: 150,000 – 1,500,000 gas/µs
up to a million times more...
how fast can it access storage?
🔹Ethereum L1: 595 reads/s
🔹JAM: 1.4Mil reads/s
A lot of the existing Ethereum ecosystem aims to fix the EVM design in the first place
JAM's design itself is powerful & it just focuses on running things - don't limit yourself
🔸think web3 cloud gaming platforms - high-performance gaming streams (decentralized Google Stadia)
🔸think of web3 delivery networks - thanks to JAM's massive storage & bandwidth (decentralized Netflix)
🔸think web3 big data analytics - running analytics workloads on-chain for transparency & decentralization (decentralized Snowflake)
but again, don't limit yourself - run basically any web2 code
you get resilience
you get transparency
you get decentralization
you get flexibility
you get security
you get cost-savings
Doom had no clue it decentralized - JAM just made it work
decentralize any app you want
ps. next demo is Quake 🙃

The proposal, Referendum 101, submitted by aaron.mbf (a member of the #Moonbeam Technical Council), aims to burn 100% of transaction fees on Moonbeam.
Current Fee allo:
- 80% of transaction fees are currently burned.
- 20% goes to the treasury.
This proposal seeks to adjust the burn rate to 100%, further optimizing Moonbeam’s economic model.
Background:
The proposal follows [MB90], which directed 80% of PBR inflation to the Moonbeam treasury. Unlike MB90, Referendum 101 focuses specifically on transaction fee burning without requiring a runtime upgrade.
Proposal MB90: 🔗 https://t.co/TS7iqURyOK
Proven:
🟢Successfully tested on Moonbase Alpha.
🟢 A similar proposal, [MR69], was executed on Moonriver (Dec 16, 2024), successfully burning 100% of transaction fees.
Proposal MR69 Details: 🔗 https://t.co/THZWuyWjMm
Moonbeam's governance system allows the community to vote on this adjustment without a runtime upgrade. This means me, you and all Moonbeam #community have the power to decide on the future economic structure of $GLMR.
Vote AYE now!
#Ethereum is good. i personally love the tech.
But #Polkadot is even more awesome.
DOOM runs smoothly ON-CHAIN!!
YES!!
ON-CHAIN!
#Moonbeam is here to serve you as a gate to explore polkadot #Ecosystem .
I hope on next demo. #games like Anno #Battlefield or #Dota2 can run smoothly as well.
February 28, 2025 – Shanghai
Dr. Gavin Wood demonstrates DOOM running on-chain as proof that any software can be deployed on Polkadot JAM.
This photo will go down in history.
