Hello Hive, we are Polana
In the ever-evolving world of blockchain, where scaling up without losing speed is the ultimate challenge, we're excited about Polana Network. Think of it this way: if #Solana is a Ferrari - incredibly fast but occasionally temperamental - then Polana is that same Ferrari engine built on a Mercedes chassis. We're combining Solana's blazing speed and developer-friendly setup with #Polkadot's battle-tested public infrastructure through the JAM Protocol (Join Accumulate Machine). Polkadot's proven resilient infrastructure - securing billions in value with near-perfect uptime - provides the unbreakable foundation that lets us deliver the reliability blockchain truly needs.
This blend enables Polana to expand Solana's capabilities into continuous execution - initially delivering 10,000+ TPS, scaling toward 1M+ TPS at theoretical perfect parallelism. Our goal with this setup is to extend Solana's territory into new use cases, offering a seamless connection across fast networks while letting developers keep their existing code intact. Same speed, same ecosystem, unbreakable reliability.
Exploring the Tech Behind Polana
What makes Polana stand out for us begins with its roots in Solana's account-based system, famous for its efficiency and low fees. But we take it further by integrating Polkadot's #JAMProtocol, which excels at parallel processing across various cores. The "join-accumulate" method in JAM distributes tasks and recombines them smartly, paving the way for true multi-tasking power.
A highlight for us is the continuous execution feature. Unlike typical blockchains where smart contracts only activate on transactions, Polana keeps them running around the clock. They maintain their data persistently, respond to On-Chain events automatically, and function independently. For #devs who've already created apps on Solana, deployment is straightforward, just plug them in without any changes. Everything syncs up with standard tools, wallets, and contracts. This architecture expands traditional capabilities, providing massive capacity while holding onto that Solana essence we love.
We also emphasize security and streamlined operations, drawing from JAM to reduce friction in Cross-Chain activities. Picture it as constructing an efficient roadway where everything moves without congestion, balancing the workload across nodes for peak performance.
Polana's Thriving Community and Momentum
Lately, we've seen Polana's community skyrocket, centered around their lively Discord. A month ago, it was sitting at about 1,400 members, but today it's soared beyond 20,000, all through natural "word of mouth". The Community Dashboard is a blast, letting folks earn points via daily "GM" shoutouts (good morning, if you're new to this), leaderboard challenges, and group events.
The vibe is electric with achievements like reaching 17,000 or 18,000 users, and we're looking forward to our first AMA on October 20, 2025, at 11 AM UTC in our Discord Server. It's become a hub for Solana and Polkadot enthusiasts, with discussions firing up on topics from gaming on the blockchain to Web3 expansion and "Earn While Playing" models. This bottom-up expansion really shows how Polana is connecting with folks on a genuine level.
Our Take on Polana's Vision, Aims, and Future Path
Deep down, Polana is about creating a space where blockchain applications flow effortlessly and on their own, moving beyond the rigid transaction driven framework. Our key objectives include achieving flawless scaling with no trade offs, targeting 1M+ TPS at perfect parallelism, and fostering a Dev-Centric environment that taps into the full might of decentralized tech.
Through this fusion of Solana's swiftness and JAM's parallel intelligence, we're aiming to expand the possibilities for both ecosystems. Down the line, the plan is to enable groundbreaking apps, enhance links among major chains, and lower barriers for widespread use. It's all about community input guiding the way forward.
Unlocking Possibilities with Polana
Picture the potential: #DeFi platforms executing trades instantly without block delays, or #games delivering seamless, event-driven experiences that pull you right in. IoT becomes effortless, with gadgets interacting via perpetual contracts. We're talking rapid trading, autonomous data feeds, or detailed models, all expanding smoothly.
Businesses gain a trustworthy foundation for supply chain oversight or data handling. Everyday users enjoy faster, more affordable interactions, and it propels #Web3 to match the always-ready feel of traditional apps. In essence, Polana flips "maybe someday" to "let's do this" for #decentralized creativity.
Getting to Know Polana's Key Players
Kicking off in 2025 as a compact private venture with 3 team members, Polana is powered by a dedicated crew obsessed with blockchain advancements. At the helm is People/Boy-Maas|Boy Maas, our founder with more than 25 years in tech as an R&D specialist in blockchain. He's currently developing #JamZig, a version of the JAM Protocol in Zig, infusing the project with his expertise in scalable designs.
Now, turning to People/Marius|Marius Barends
, who serves as Head of Community. He's a master community architect with proven skills in blockchain ecosystem building and gamified engagement. Hailing from the Hive blockchain world, Marius carries a wealth of experience in crafting authentic, high-engagement crypto communities that promote lasting, organic expansion.
And last we have our Anonymous #developer who is handling Core Technology on the SVM side. This distinguished blockchain engineer specializes in virtual machine architectures and protocol development, currently building the functionality for Solana smart contracts to run natively on the Polkadot Virtual Machine (PVM). This Dev brings deep SVM knowledge, mastering its instructions, execution, and performance, with a focus on optimization and full compatibility for Solana programs. The Developer has chosen anonymity while laying the groundwork for tapping into Solana's dev ecosystem.
Info on the full team is limited publicly, but it's evident they're relying on solid expertise and guidance to propel progress.
In the end, Polana Network strikes us as a potential disruptor, weaving elite technology with an expanding base of backers. As it gains traction, it might fundamentally alter our approach to decentralized worlds.
