Recommended Openbuild: A developer's summary of @Polkadot and JAM, let's explore the evolution of Polkadot smart contracts and virtual machines together 👍
Polkadot is not just a blockchain, but Gavin Wood's envisioned 'super internet': a Web3 world that supports multi-chain parallelism, interoperability, and accessibility for everyone.
📜 From Ethereum to Polkadot, Gavin's initial exploration
1️⃣ Multi-chain interoperability: Achieving efficient connections between different blockchains through relay chains and parallel chains.
2️⃣ Sharding technology: Significantly enhancing blockchain efficiency, like banks handling business through multiple windows.
3️⃣ Diversity of smart contracts: Supporting EVM (Solidity), ink! (Rust), and future multi-language contracts.
🚀 From Polkadot 1.0 to JAM and PolkaVM: The birth of the Web3 supercomputer
JAM is a new architecture that makes Polkadot not just a blockchain, but a powerful computing platform capable of running DOOM games!
PolkaVM adopts RISC-V architecture, which is more efficient and secure than EVM, supporting multi-language contracts and high-speed operations.
🔍 Advantages of Polkadot with the JAM architecture:
✅ Efficient and low-cost: Reducing on-chain congestion and transaction fees.
✅ Multi-language support: Not only Solidity, but also allows smart contracts to be written in languages like Rust, C, TypeScript, and more.
✅ Truly open Web3: Providing a platform for diverse innovation from the underlying architecture to the application layer.
Gavin's vision is to make Polkadot a decentralized network where all developers can build, run, and connect, which is not just a blockchain, but a brand new internet!
