Gavin Wood Signals Next Steps for Polkadot’s Revolutionary JAM Protocol at Sub0 Reset

November 4, 2024 – London, United Kingdom

WebZero has announced the full agenda for its conference Sub0 Reset, inviting developers, investors and innovators to join Polkadot founder Dr. Gavin Wood – along with industry leaders from Parity and the Web3 Foundation – to work on building JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine), a new paradigm paving the way forward for writing and securing Web 3.0 applications.

The three-day event, from November 9-11, 2024, in Bangkok, is dedicated to the most exciting innovation of the Polkadot ecosystem – advancing Gavin Wood’s visionary JAM chain project into the implementation stage and showcasing the most innovative projects built on Substrate.

JAM takes Polkadot’s current architecture to a new level of flexibility, in which Polkadot’s cores can be used for any verification task – whether for smart contracts or sovereign blockchains – maximizing the potential of the cores.

It seeks to offer a real solution to the scalability versus coherency dilemma in Web 3.0.

Sub0 Reset kicks off with a dedicated education day. Attendees can learn from industry greats such as Polkadot founder Robert Habermeier and Avail’s Anurag Arjun, and join barcamp deep-dives focused on Substrate.

Day two is ‘modularity day,’ with discussions from leading innovators at Avail, R0gue, Midnight and Parity Technologies.

Day three is ‘JAM and scalability day,’ building out Polkadot’s founder Gavin Wood’s vision to transform the ecosystem into the world’s first global computer.

The venue’s 24/7 hackerspace will give new teams the chance to co-work and compete for $10,000 in prizes.

Fabian Gompf, CEO of the Web3 Foundation, said,

“Sub0 Reset is the best opportunity for global developer talent to come together and catch up on the cutting-edge innovation happening in the Substrate and Polkadot ecosystems.

“Ranging from network updates and milestones to parachains, solochains and a whole day covering [JAM], Sub0 Reset is an important step for driving forward progress on Polkadot.”
