When an era’s promises are fulfilled, a new chapter quietly begins.
Over the past five years, @Polkadot has delivered on its mission — turning a whitepaper vision into a live, multi-chain reality.
Now that the blueprint is complete, @paritytech and @gavofyork face a new question: not what to build, but what to explore next.
This time, they’re not chasing speed or bound by old roadmaps.
Armed with experience, resources, and conviction,
they’re stepping into a “green field” — to rethink freedom in technology, the flow of knowledge, and the boundaries between humans and networks.
This is JAM!
a new beginning for open creation, beyond any whitepaper.
“This is a well-earned freedom.”
— Gavin Wood
Building a system with no pause button — @paritytech's story of grit & grace.
As @gavofyork recalls: “We never really had an office culture. From the embers of ETH Dev, we were global from day one.”
From a tiny house on the North Sea coast where 3 people wrote the first Rust client,
to sunny island retreats and spontaneous BarCamps,
Parity has always been held together by faith and code.
In 2020, Polkadot launched with no countdown, no ceremony.
Just one line: “Let’s launch today.”
Pure engineer’s romance — direct, fearless, unstoppable.
From Kusama key mismatches to lost states during migrations,
they fixed everything on a chain that couldn’t stop running.
By 2022, Gavin stepped down as CEO to focus on JAM, Agile Coretime & OpenGov — turning decentralization from theory into reality.
“Here, everything is public — for better or worse, that’s the price of transparency.”
Looking back, the team agrees:
their greatest pride wasn’t in technical breakthroughs,
but in the courage to keep going —
through fevers, lockdowns, and chaos.
That’s the true @paritytech spirit. 💪
