Polkadot unveils roadmap to replace Relay Chain with JAM

  • —JAM replaces the Relay Chain with a general-purpose environment running services on shared infrastructure
  • —Teams are building a full PolkaJAM node and an in-browser light-node library for direct access
  • —A parallel parachain service will move parachain finality onto JAM
  • —The shift follows Agile Coretime and a hard cap of 2.1 billion DOT with issuance cut about 53.6%
Why it matters: The redesign will shape demand for DOT and Polkadot's standing among L1s, but its payoff hinges on attracting developers and applications.
