You’re correct we aren’t trying to “contribute to graypaper or PolkaVM”. Instead, JAR/Grey is an alternative proposal to Polkadot JAM. Polkadot is a decentralized community. This means that no one needs to stay in “your” framework to develop on Polkadot.
Gavin has been pretty clear about this – JAM is a protocol and it’s the DOTDAO who can choose to adopt it. DOTDAO can also chose to adopt JAR/Grey as the alternative proposal (in our ways, we have made it so that there will be no JAMKB complications, no token launches, so it’s actually an attractive solution to DOT holders).
JAM itself can also be launched, as Gavin himself stated, by other teams to other chains. The same for JAR/Grey – it is also a protocol which means it can also be its own L1. We made it coinless and anti-capture, and we’re developing that within the framework of Alley OS.
We aren’t trying to “show off”. We’re developing a better technical solution than Polkadot JAM and we believe, especially because we don’t plan on JAMKB, this will be better for DOT holders. Plus our VM, compared with PolkaVM, has performance and blob size advantages.
You’re right we weren’t censored. What got censored started from Koute’s (PolkaVM author) personal attack posts (A reminder on what this forum is for). The current forum post is simply fact stating so that any such personal attacks will just factually not be possible from now on.
