Promising Layer 1 blockchains outside of $ETH?
I think I’ve got a few, and one is $DOT.@gavofyork wrote the Polkadot Whitepaper in 2016 and has now released the JAM Graypaper, essentially enabling Polkadot 2.0.

At Token 2048 Dubai, Gavin Wood shed light on the next generation of Polkadot that envisions revolutionizing the future of Web3. As per an official post released by Polkadot, the network aims to “provide the speed, scale, full decentralization, and ease of use needed to drive forward deep innovation across not just Web3, but the entire tech landscape.”
The principal part of the development is JAM, Polkadot chain’s new version, which intends to expand the network’s capabilities beyond Web3’s limitations. In addition, JAM is expected to bring groundbreaking scalability to the network.
Providing more insights into the matter, Wood released a technical Graypaper. In the JAM Graypaper, Wood introduced the basic concept of JAM, stating
“We present a comprehensive and formal definition of JAM, a protocol combining elements of both Polkadot and Ethereum. In a single coherent model, Jam provides a global singleton permissionless object environment…paired with secure sideband computation parallelized over a scalable node network, a proposition pioneered by Polkadot.”
Meanwhile, Polkadot (DOT) has managed to escape the bearish track, showing a notable surge of 6.12% in the last 24 hours. However, DOT, currently trading at $6.88, has marked a significant decline of 21% in one month and a marginal decline of 1.04% in one week.
