Polkadot Blockchain Academy debuts JAM course for future blockchain architects

Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA), the educational branch of the Polkadot (DOT) ecosystem, has announced the launch of The JAM Course, a specialized program designed to help developers make innovations in Polkadot’s blockchain architecture, as per the reports shared with Finbold on February 10.  

The course is set to launch in December 2025 and is the first project exploring Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM), the new framework conceptualized by Polkadot co-founder Dr. Gavin Wood. 

Polkadot’s JAM Course

A follow-up to the PBA Campus, JAM Tour, and PBA-X, the academy’s four-week entry-level program, The JAM Course is designed primarily for experienced Web3 developers looking to explore The JAM infrastructure.

Unlike traditional blockchain programs, The JAM Course emphasizes learning through experience supplemented by various high-level tutorials, joint interactive sessions, and open discussions.

Pauline Cohen Vorms, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Polkadot Blockchain Academy, described the program as the ‘next frontier’ for the chain:

“JAM represents the next frontier for Polkadot, and this course is a gateway for developers eager to explore its transformative potential. Through this program, participants will not only gain technical expertise but also a deeper understanding of how Polkadot is driving the future of blockchain interoperability.”

During the program, participants will work with JAM’s core components, including its Refine, Accumulate, and OnTransfer functions, which are crucial for understanding how the layer can reshape the future of the blockchain.  

Participants will also explore tools such as the Polkadot Virtual Machine and Polkadot API, both essential to building real-world applications. 

The Join-Accumulate Machine framework

JAM was designed to replace Polkadot’s relay chain by introducing a more flexible and scalable decentralized application (dApp) environment. 

It supports permissionless code execution, Solidity smart contracts, and roll-up outputs, which let developers integrate computation both on- and off-chain.

In turn, this eliminates the need to choose between appchains and smart contracts and offers a unified environment for both.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
