🐦⬛ Kusama might migrate to JAM before @Polkadot — even before JAM passes formal audits? 👀
Why?
Because it helps de-risk the transition.
But Kusama OpenGov will have to decide.
And there’s one catch…🧵👇
1/
The problem?
JAM might be ready before the parachains service logic and tooling are.
So even if Kusama wants to move, the infrastructure may lag behind.
Technical readiness ≠ Ecosystem readiness.
2/
What about a shared validator set between @kusamanetwork and Polkadot under JAM?
@gavofyork says: sounds interesting, but it’s messy.
🧩 DOT or KSM?
⚖️ Who gets slashed?
💸 Who earns what?
Token economics gets tricky fast.
3/
But here’s the thing
It’s hard. It’s complex.
But maybe, just maybe, it’s the right direction.
I remember in a conversation with @KevinWSHPod, Gavin shared a bold idea:
Separate the network from the token.
Just like nations have their own currencies but share global trade networks — blockchains could do the same.
4/
Imagine:
• DOT and KSM remain independent
• But both secure the same JAM network
• Tokens float like currencies
• Users carry a basket of assets, and networks auto-convert to the most efficient option
Like FX, but for blockchains.
5/
No more “my token vs your token.”
No more network tribalism.
Just shared infrastructure and interoperable value.
A truly neutral base layer — where security is a service, and tokens are flexible.
Sounds like JAM? It should.
6/
Gavin’s vision is still early.
But @Polkadot might be the best place to test it.
After all, DOT and KSM already live under one roof.
If they can cooperate — maybe everyone else can too.
Very interesting idea~ what’s your take on it?

look how much we have grown
Mr Brondor
I know a lot of $TAO supporters are reading this.
I’ve got fresh liquidity to deploy, and I’m looking to double down into the $TAO ecosystem.
Shill me your best subnet plays.
But don’t just name drop, tell me why it matters.
Real utility + Real upside potential.

Kusama is an open-source and experimental version of the Polkadot blockchain, built using the Substrate network. It offers a relatively lenient governance system, thus allowing developers to build and upgrade new blockchain projects quickly. KSM is the name and ticker of the project's native token.
Kusama utilizes a multi-chain network with a relay chain, parachains, and bridges. While Polkadot focuses on maintaining high levels of security, Kusama is designed to absorb the risks of early experimentation by acting as a testnet. It is also cheaper to deploy projects on Kusama than on Polkadot, making it attractive for early-stage projects. The minimum requirement for staking as a validator is also lower, increasing its accessibility to users. However, Kusama supports a limited number of parachains, currently 100, booked through slots and allocated through an open auction for high-value bidders.
The three main ecosystem governance participants are the KSM token holders, the council, and the technical committee based on the Nominated Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus. The on-chain governance model uses simple, stake-based voting schemes to make any required changes to the network. As a result, Kusama is four times faster than Polkadot, with the voting and enactment process executed within 15 days.
KSM price and tokenomics
KSM has a total supply of 10 million and is subject to an annual inflation rate of 10%. Therefore, the token allocation of newly minted tokens depends on the proportion of KSM staked by network participants. If upheld, the ideal staking ratio is set at 50%, giving KSM validators new tokens. The excess goes to the treasury if this ratio has a positive deviation. However, validators will receive fewer tokens with a negative deviation, affecting the KSM price.
The quicker governance structure and rapidly expanding Polkadot ecosystem drive demand for KSM tokens. Polkadot price fluctuations also affect KSM's price. KSM was initially released through an airdrop and distributed to accounts that participated in the sale of DOT, Polkadot's token, at a ratio of 1:1. It also had a sale option for those who did not hold any DOT tokens at the time.
About the founders
Backed by strong players in the crypto ecosystem, Kasuma shares the same founders as Polkadot - Gavin Wood, Peter Czaban, and Robert Habermeier. Wood, the co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum, invented several fundamental elements of blockchain development, including Solidity, Whisper, and Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus. He also currently serves as the president and founder of the Web3 Foundation.
Czaban, an Oxford alumnus, is the chief technology officer at the Web3 Foundation, while Habermeier, a fellow at Thiel, is a longtime member of the Rust community. KSM also has a team of over 100 blockchain engineers and strategic advisors helping shape the project's future. Kusama is funded by the Web3 Foundation and private investors such as Master Ventures, who funded the entire Polkadot ecosystem.
