Many people criticize @Polkadot
But many others are unaware that JAM will solve these issues.
Main criticisms of Polkadot:
High barrier to entry for developers: Deploying parachains requires winning slot auctions based on DOT, which is costly and complex for new teams.
Rigid infrastructure (relay chain limitations): The relay chain lacks flexibility, and everything must adapt to the preset parachain architecture, limiting the space for innovation.
Fragmented JAM narrative: The independent brand image of JAM causes confusion, leading to inconsistent messaging and decreased confidence among users and developers.
How JAM addresses these issues:
Permissionless service deployment: JAM eliminates the auction model. Developers can directly use Coretime to deploy smart contract-based services, using DOT as the token, thus removing the high entry barrier.
Modular, flexible architecture: Replacing the relay chain with a modular system, no longer limited to "parachains," but supporting a wider range of decentralized applications.
Clearer branding and unified narrative: The community is reinforcing a consensus—that JAM is simply the next generation upgrade of Polkadot, not an independent project, and DOT remains the core token of the entire ecosystem.
