From Graypaper to CoreVM,
From Doom to Quake,
From thought experiments to runtime reality.
Last year at @EthPrague, @gavofyork used a Graypaper to inspire Ethereum developers to rethink the future of the underlying protocol.
This year he returns to the stage with the first comprehensive practical speech on JAM and CoreVM. Lasting 50 minutes, filled with valuable insights, it thoroughly explores the design philosophy and technical roadmap of Polkadot's next-generation execution environment.
This speech is the most systematic elaboration since the proposal of the JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine) architecture; it comprehensively showcases the core design of CoreVM, and how it transitions from multi-chain to multi-execution engines (multi-core, multi-runtime); it deeply addresses current hot topics in L1/L2 such as modularity, parallelism, and composability; and demonstrates how Polkadot has evolved from the initial concept of 'chain' to 'system kernel'.
