Substrate: The platform for blockchain innovators
Substrate was a Rust framework for building custom blockchains and was the foundation of the Polkadot network. This repo is now archived, all active development has moved to the Polkadot SDK repository.
Substrate was a Rust-based framework for building blockchains, created by Parity Technologies. It served as one of the core building blocks for the Polkadot network, providing developers with tools to create their own custom blockchains without having to write everything from scratch.
This repository is no longer active. Parity Technologies has merged Substrate, Cumulus, and Polkadot into a single combined repository called the Polkadot SDK. The README is now a short notice directing contributors and users to that new repository. Any open pull requests from this repository need to be resubmitted there.
Where it fits
- Browse the archived Substrate codebase to understand how the Polkadot runtime and consensus layer were originally structured.
- Reference historical Substrate module architecture before migrating an existing project to the Polkadot SDK repo.
