There are over TWENTY teams implementing JAM:

Some teams are starting to pass the first few tests with available [test vectors, ](<https://github.com/w3f/jamtestvectors/>)are asking detailed questions about the [JAM Gray Paper](<https://graypaper.com>) in the [GP Chat Room](<https://matrix.to/#/#graypaper:polkadot.io>) and [JAM Chat Room](<https://matrix.to/#/#jam:polkadot.io>).

Amazingly, there are over *10+* teams implementing JAM:

[https://jamcha.in/clients](<https://jamcha.in/clients>)

Some teams are starting to pass the first few tests with available [test vectors, ](<https://github.com/w3f/jamtestvectors/>)are asking detailed questions about the [JAM Gray Paper](<https://graypaper.com>) in the [GP Chat Room](<https://matrix.to/#/#graypaper:polkadot.io>) and [JAM Chat Room](<https://matrix.to/#/#jam:polkadot.io>).

With Devcon 7 in Thailand in November (tickets going on sale again July 30 [here](<https://tickets.devcon.org/>) ). and sub0 proposed to happen in LATAM, we would like propose a JAM0 event to bring these teams together.

We have  at least \*SIX\* *serious implementors* who are interested in going to Devcon 7  and can connect their JAM implementations with each other.  This proposal aims to support their Devcon tickets and get the bulk of each team's travel budget reimbursed, up to $7.5K/team (with travel receipts, like 3-4 people/team on average). As of Fall 2024, "serious implementors" should be pretty close to passing "JAM Milestone 1" and not be in "just learning" mode, be able to pass "Block Import" tests (when available) or at least passing most all test vectors available and know \_exactly\_ where they are bottlenecked, and basically be ready to network their implementations with other teams with [QUIC](<https://hackmd.io/@polkadot/jamsnp>) at an event like this.

Budget: (estimated $118,313=19K DOT*$6.227/DOT)

- $75,000 Travel (10 teams x $7.5K/team)
- $43,313 Venue + Food for JAM Implementors + core devs working on PolkaVM + related tooling

Any unused budget from securing will be applied to a similar JAM0 event at sub0 (also focussed on _implementers+protocol devs_). 

Everyone will be required to follow the [official W3F rules](<https://jam.web3.foundation/rules>) and [unofficial "Rules" (from Gav)](<https://hackmd.io/@polkadot/jamprize>).

<h3>Venue:</h3>

We are collaborating with OneBlock on this, see [OpenGov Ref #897](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/897).  The final venue  will be announced in August.  We will set up a JAM0 Matrix room for teams to follow along.

<h3>Teams:</h3>

See below.  If you are a serious implementor (or a protocol dev), please comment below!
