JAM and JAM Grid: A New Era of Web3 Cloud Computing

Polkadot is committed to becoming a true Web3 cloud computing platform, providing infrastructure for building highly scalable and extremely reliable Web3 applications and services. This vision is similar to the work that AWS has done for Web2 applications, but with some differences.

JAM and JAM Grid are key technologies driving Polkadot to achieve a true Web3 cloud. Let's take a look at their features:

JAM: Unprecedented Scale and Computing Power

JAM is a trustless supercomputer that forms the foundation of the Web3 cloud. It is a new computing model and protocol designed to enhance the capabilities of Polkadot and address scalability challenges in blockchain technology. JAM will support 1 million transactions per second ( TPS ), 2 PB of data availability, and 857 MB/s of bandwidth.

JAM is an important step for Polkadot towards the vision of becoming a global supercomputer. Its scalability aims to support large-scale real-time applications that traditional blockchains cannot handle.

JAM Grid: Unlock 1 Billion TPS

JAM Grid is a connected supercomputer cluster, with each computer running the JAM protocol. It promises to achieve 1 billion transactions per second ( TPS ), 1 exabyte of data storage, and 600 GB/s of bandwidth.

These numbers far exceed the standards of today's blockchain, reaching scales similar to high-performance computing ( HPC ). If realized, JAM Grid will be able to handle applications on a global scale while maintaining decentralized security.

Comparison with Other Blockchains

JAM and JAM Grid far exceed other blockchain projects in performance metrics:

• TPS: JAM can reach 1 million, JAM Grid can reach 1 billion
• Data Availability: JAM is 2 PB, JAM Grid is 1 EiB
• Bandwidth: JAM is 857 MB/s, JAM Grid is 600 GB/s

These data far exceed the performance of projects like Solana, Aptos, Sui, and Avalanche.

Applications that JAM can achieve

With its powerful performance, JAM can support the following applications:

• City or country-level real-time games and virtual worlds
• Real-time IoT and automation for enterprises or cities
• A national-level high-traffic stablecoin or payment system

Applications that can be realized by JAM Grid

The performance of JAM Grid has been further enhanced to support larger-scale applications.

• Global multiplayer virtual world and games
• Global real-time IoT and automation
• Global scale social network
• Decentralized AI and Large-Scale Machine Learning
• Global Stablecoin Payment System

How JAM Grid Empowers Developers

JAM Grid provides developers with powerful infrastructure:

• Support large-scale on-chain data processing
• Easily achieve global applications
• Reduce expansion issues, can fully rely on on-chain construction

The Role of DOT in JAM Grid

DOT is the key to driving JAM Grid:

• Ensure network security through staking
• As a pass to access and participate in the JAM supercomputer
• Promote a virtuous cycle between JAM Grid and DOT value

JAM and JAM Grid represent a new era of Web3 cloud computing, promising to provide transparent and censorship-resistant services to billions of users worldwide. This vision is gradually being realized, and the future is worth looking forward to.
