🚀 Putting #ziglang on the map with the #jam Protocol! Honored to present to @gavofyork and grateful for his inspiring graypaper – a true magnus opus 🎉. Thanks to @JAMdotTech for bringing everyone together and to @danicuki for the Italian spirit (and pizza!) to the table🍕🇮🇹
We have not yet begun the actual performance optimizations for JamZig⚡, but @ziglang already shows promise. It is slightly faster than some of the highly optimized teams in the simplest path execution path. 👉https://t.co/gWQ9sL3bVD
JamZig passed the full JAM GP 0.7.2 conformance suite ⚡️
Minifuzz → L2a → L2b → L3a → L3b. All green.
Zig-implemented JAM target. 1M-step fuzz, Safrole on, full-spec lanes.

🚀M1 MILESTONE: COMPLETE! 🚀
W3F Auditor Piet Wolff successfully fuzzed JamZig⚡ with 1M blocks using the fuzzer by @_davxy_. A massive win for the project as we move into the M1 Fellowship Review! 🤝
Next up? M2: Networking Implementation. ⚡️
#Web3@Polkadot@ziglang
🚀 Exciting news, founding community! We've hit 17,000 members and we're growing strong! 💪 Stay tuned on how we enter the Solana community. Big things are coming! 🌟 🤠🔥 #ThisIsTheWay 🔥🤠

We see new blockchains, and a new frontier.
Polana Labs is cooking something special while #JAMProtocol evolves.
Only a chosen few will enter. Just pure adventure. Your wallet will be your compass.

@Solana@Polkadot #BlockchainGaming #Web3
Spent my free Sunday well visualising block execution 🚀 Optimised ~40% speed boosts on some execution paths!⚡️ Looking forward to the dashboard next performance run 🤠
Always a Joy working on the brilliant #JAMProtocol design of @gavofyork . ✨ @ziglang@_davxy_@Polkadot
First look at overall performance across JAM Implementors. Polkajam leads; JamZig (pure Zig language) is already competitive with debug logs enabled. Stripped benches coming soon — and yes, we expect to push this up! ⚡🤠
@Polkadot@ziglang#JAMProtocol
OMG! We now have 6+ JAM implementers with 100% clear JAM Conformance with a clear bill of health!
Throughout August, teams have posted a JAM "fuzz target" that receive challenging state transitions to ensure implementations conform to JAM spec. The implementations pass or fail each test case.
This is the future of @polkadot, which as always leads the whole of the Web3 industry.
and ... we are now ADDICTED to conformance 😅😂🤣😇

So proud to work alongside so many talented people making this all work in an amazing process of decentralized engineering !🤪😍🥰
In The Hague, sipping coffee ☕ and refactoring host functions in JamZig.
Bleeding-edge #JAM tech isn’t just theory — it’s being built, line by line, for the #Polkadot future 🚀

We're thrilled to announce our first CBRS Talk Show #Xspace on X! Join us Monday, August 5th, 7PM UTC to discuss #Web3 and #Blockchain with Starkerz from #Hive Blockchain and Boy Maas from #Jamzig.
📢Everyone's welcome!
If you don’t have time to watch the full video, here are the key takeaways we’ve put together for you.🫶
3 JAM client devs shared major updates:
🦀FastRoll (Rust) by @0xjunha
🍎 Boka (Swift) by @XiliangChen from @AcalaNetwork
⚡ Jamzig (Zig) by Boy Mass from @polana_network
They revealed progress on Milestone 1, insights from @Web3summit, and thoughts on PoP, ZK, and JAM governance. Here’s a recap 👇🧵
1/
Milestone 1 = JAM’s first big checkpoint
Clients must:
- Import and validate blocks
- Run runtime logic
- Output the correct post-state
A JAM fuzzer generates randomized blocks. If all clients produce the same state root, they pass Milestone 1.
2/
When testnet?
Testnet won’t go live until Milestone 2 is complete.
Why? Milestone 1 only tests runtime execution — not networking.
Milestone 2 will add peer-to-peer protocols. Only then can a proper JAM testnet form.
3/
Thoughts on Gavin’s major reforms announced at Web3 Summit
Bryan’s take: PoP could drastically cut security costs
Both PoS and PoW rely on high inflationary rewards.
PoP may:
- Reduce inflation
- Free up DOT for DeFi
- Align long-term value with utility
But: with staking yields reduced, user behavior will change — and the transition must be handled carefully.
4/
Thoughts on ZK + JAM?
All 3 devs agree:
- JAM can host ZK-powered rollups today
- JAM itself using ZK for security is still too early
- But it could happen — if zk tech gets 100x faster
Hybrid models might emerge.
5/
Thoughts on JAM Governance = Grey Paper + Editorial Board
Gavin remains chief editor.
A new technical board will co-maintain the spec.
🧠 Junha: JAM is “spec-first” — paper comes before code.
🛡️ Bryan: Transparency and rigor are critical.
✅ Boy: Committees help preserve protocol integrity.
6/
Polana x JAM: Solana SVM running on JAM
Boy Mass announced:
“You can now take Solana bytecode, deploy it to JAM, and it just works — with cross-program invocations!”
This makes JAM a universal execution layer. Huge for multi-chain future.
7/
The big picture:
JAM is the secure, modular compute layer.
But users won’t interact with JAM directly — they’ll use services built on top of JAM.
Core devs urge the community to:
- Read the Grey Paper
- Build apps
- Help refine the protocol
8/
Final words:
JAM isn’t just a new chain — it’s a new paradigm.
“We’re underestimating what JAM can unlock. The bandwidth it offers hasn’t been seen in blockchain before.” — Boy Mass
💬 Follow @polkaworld_pro for the Chinese recap.
Gavin just dropped a bold yet elegant idea:
Fix DOT’s total supply at π × 10⁹ (approx. 3.14B) — hardcoded into the JAM genesis block.
Community instantly asked us for a deep dive. So here it is👇

Incredible discussion with @KylixFinance, @MandalaChain, @jamzig_dev and @andyjsbell.
Excellent topics explored 👀 @solana, @polkadot, JAM Protocol developments, when's JAM testnet dropping? when Polana goes live? All the essential updates.
Grateful to be part of this amazing community 🚀
EXCITING LIVESTREAM ANNOUNCEMENT
@Mick_Republik and @Pakm2n are thrilled to host an exclusive livestream with BoyMaas and Andy Bell, both co-founders of @polana_network - where @Solana meets @Polkadot Jam!
🔗 This groundbreaking collaboration showcases the future of cross-chain innovation and the incredible potential when ecosystems unite.
We're excited to give exposure to this promising new project and explore how they're bridging two of the most dynamic blockchain networks.
