JAM Protocol meets Elixir - Turning formal specifications into functional, real-world code

Jamixir is a hands-on implementation of the JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine) blockchain protocol written in Elixir. We're bridging the gap between formal specifications and practical, production-ready code that developers can actually use and contribute to.

• 📖 Make JAM Accessible: Transform complex academic specifications into readable, maintainable code
• 🔧 Build for Builders: Create tools and implementations that real developers can use
• 🌍 Foster Collaboration: Open-source everything and welcome contributors from all backgrounds
• ⚡ Leverage Elixir: Harness the power of the Actor model for true concurrency and fault tolerance

# Concurrency made simple
def handle_blocks(blocks) do
  blocks
  |> Enum.map(&Task.async(fn -> process_block(&1) end))
  |> Enum.map(&Task.await/1)
end

# Fault tolerance built-in
{:ok, pid} = GenServer.start_link(JAM.Validator, [])
Process.monitor(pid)  # Automatic restart on failure

• 🔀 Massive Concurrency: Handle millions of lightweight processes
• 🛡️ Fault Tolerance: "Let it crash" philosophy with supervision trees
• 📡 Distributed: Built for multi-node blockchain networks
• 🚀 Developer Joy: Functional programming that actually makes sense

• jamixir - Our JAM implementation in Elixir (will be open sourced after JAM prize submission ~ sep/2025)
• jamixir-releases - Binary release of jamixir validator node software
• jamixir-assets - Shared assets and resources

• jamixir-website - Project website and documentation
