A proposal pitches JamScript, a Web2-style language for Polkadot's JAM
A Polkadot forum post introduces JamScript, a language and SDK meant to let developers build JAM applications without understanding JAM's internals. It is a proposal and a discussion, not a shipped platform.
A BIP-352 reference fix stops the silent-payments test asserting on nothing

Solana's consensus rewrite is written up as arriving; its SIMD says Review
Agave 4.3 is the release cycle that carries Votor, the replacement for Proof of History and TowerBFT. We opened SIMD-0326 itself: the thresholds check out, the headline latency figure is not in it, and the proposal is not accepted yet.
