When the** JAM Gray Paper** was first released, Qinwen Wang and the Lollipop Team initiated and translated the Chinese version of JAM Gray Paper, enabling developers and researchers in the Chinese-speaking world to better understand JAM’s groundbreaking innovations. Later, Qinwen wrote a popular science article titled, Three Enlightenment of Blockchain Grandmaster Gavin Wood: Decoding JAM’s Transformative Blueprint which successfully brought JAM’s epoch-making significance to a broader group of audience in Mandarin and English world.

These efforts are merely preludes to the upcoming JAM China Academy educational roadshow that it's proposed here which is led by Qinwen and Lollipop team, facing university students, entrepreneurs and government decision-markers. It will continue the traditions of Dr. Gavin Wood's overseas itinerant presentations in a localized way. It is an ambitious initiative aimed at localizing and amplifying the transformative vision of the JAM protocol across China’s dynamic academic, entrepreneurial, technological, and political landscapes.

Why Support JAM China Academy educational roadshow?

A localized JAM academy in China as a legitimate bridge and innovation accelerator

Founded by Dr. Gavin Wood in 2022, the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) has been a pioneer in blockchain education. To plant the seeds of blockchain knowledge and nurturing local talents, we decided to bring JAM to the universities in China. While China’s huge market potential is undeniable, simply replicating overseas models in the country is impractical due to differences in domestic policies, local cultures and market scales. We firmly believe that only localized blockchain education can bring sustainable growth and as a legitimate bridge and innovation accelerator for overseas projects to root and grow in the China market.

Policy and Regulatory Environment: China local government encourages innovation in blockchain technology but strictly monitors the industry so that localized curricula can provide precise interpretations of policies ( for example, the Regulations on Blockchain Information Service Management）
Education and Talent Development: Chinese universities lag behind their Western counterparts in blockchain education. A localized academy can close this gap by training talent skilled in both technology and domestic industry needs, fostering future leaders in computer science and entrepreneurship.
Technological Autonomy in Geopolitical Competition: As technology competition between China and the US is getting heated, China tends to prioritize self-developed standards. A local academy can help overseas blockchain projects integrate into China’s ecosystem, such as aligning with domestic cryptography algorithms (e.g., SM2/SM3).

China Holds Strategic Significance for JAM

JAM’s core breakthrough lies in its parallelized blockchain computation and the seamless compatibility of PolkaVM with the RISC-V chip architecture—an innovation that aligns perfectly with China’s strategy for self-reliant RISC-V chip development. As China prepares its first policy framework to protect domestic open source RISC-V chips, it is accelerating the development of a self-innovation system to reduce reliance on Western technologies. Most existing consortium chains in China rely on Ethereum’s architecture—a paradigm pioneered by Gavin Wood himself previously.

3 kinds of target audience and institutions for JAM China Academy educational roadshow:

Top-Tier Computer Science Students: Focus on China’s top 25 computer science universities and top-rank institutions offering blockchain-related programs. There are 32 universities that have approved blockchain engineering undergraduate programs.
Entrepreneurs: Collaborate with EMBA programs or prestigious business schools that target entrepreneurs (e.g., Zhejiang Hupan Entrepreneurship Research Center) to shape the understanding of blockchain among corporate leaders and accelerate its operational implementation.
Government & Influential Decision-Makers: China is accelerating the construction of a national blockchain infrastructure system. The Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN), a global public blockchain infrastructure with overarching planning and top-level design by the State Information Center, marks a paradigm shift in blockchain development—from market-driven exploration to state-strategic leadership. Against this backdrop, advancing deep integration between the JAM protocol and China’s national blockchain infrastructure will forge a technological foundation for interconnected digital sovereignty, laying a strategic cornerstone for the restructuring of the global digital governance system.

Course Introduction:

Exploring the Future of Web3 Cloud Computing: A Practical Guide to JAM

This course is specifically designed for Chinese computer science students, builders and Web3 professionals who seek to understand and apply next-generation decentralized computing technologies in practical and business-oriented contexts.

By integrating global blockchain expertise with regional characteristics, the course simplifies complex Web3 concepts into accessible language with localized explanations, while simultaneously offering in-depth exposure to the technical foundations of the JAM protocol. The course also highlights how JAM aligns with China’s priorities in technological self-reliance and open-source innovation.
