JAM's parachain services support existing Substrate-based parachains, and developers can continue to use Substrate to develop and deploy blockchains.
Notably, these services have no pre-defined limits on the amount of code, data, or state and can support additional #DOT deposits to increase capacity.
In addition, a SNARK-based block mining algorithm, SAFROLE, will be introduced. These updates are said to optimize the performance and scalability of the #Polkadot network.
The path to decentralization?
To realize the vision of a "truly distributed protocol", Polkadot intends to support multiple client implementations. In addition, a JAM Implementer Award has been established to incentivize and fund projects that promote the development of JAM implementations. The announcement also states that.
We believe that supporting multiple implementations in different programming languages will strengthen the foundations of the ecosystem. This will allow for a wider distribution of capabilities among protocol implementers and reduce the risk that a bug in one implementation will crash the entire network.
The JAM Implementer's Prize will collaborate with existing and future funding initiatives that support the Polkadot ecosystem and technology stack. These initiatives include decentralized futures, grants, and Polkadot's on-chain treasury.
The awards will take effect when JAM is approved as a Polkadot technology through the on-chain network management mechanism.

Overall, Gavin Wood's announcement of the JAM update and the corresponding Dot10 million prize reflects Polkadot's intention to expand the use and adoption of the protocol JAM's modular design and incentives for multi-client implementations will help Polkadot's ongoing work. The protocol is expected to support the network #decentralization that Polkadot is currently engaged in.
