A change is quietly brewing in the @Polkadot ecosystem — it's called JAM DAO 👀
This emerging builders organization is just a month old but has already begun to step onto the governance stage.
How did the idea of JAM DAO come about?
The JAM Prize proposed by Gavin will reward these 38 JAM implementation teams with DOT — 25% of which is unlocked immediately, and the remaining 75% is locked DOT that will unlock linearly over two years.
These locked DOT represent real OpenGov voting rights. Let's do some math:
For every completed development phase = 100,000 DOT
If 10 teams have completed the M1 phase
That means these JAM core developers already have 1 million DOT in hand
If using the maximum willingness-to-vote, it equates to a governance influence of 6 million DOT 👀
This is not a "small voice"
Most of these developers initially had no intention of participating in governance,
They didn't come for politics — they came for the construction of JAM.
But later they realized: "If we don't vote, others will make decisions for us." "If we don't shape the future, the future will be defined by others."
So they began to organize, learn from each other, and participate in discussions.
They will vote to represent the interests of the JAM protocol
Voting for the builders' belief in the future of Web3!
