The Blockchain Framework
for a Multichain Future
Substrate enables developers to quickly and easily build future proof blockchains optimized for any use case.
Taking the learnings from Ethereum to Substrate
ExpandSubstrate-based chains are designed to seamlessly connect to Polkadot, granting access to its system of parallel transactions, cross-chain transfers, and an expanding support network.
True Interoperability
By utilizing the Polkadot Relay Chain, all Substrate-based chains can interoperate with others in the ecosystem without the need for bridges.
Shared Security
Polkadot’s security is shared without compromise to all chains connected to it, removing the need for and expense of developing your own security network.
Sovereign Governance
While benefiting from the network effects on Polkadot, each chain also maintains independent governance for maximum freedom.
The building blocks for a decentralized and fairer internet.
Substrate makes building a blockchain far easier, faster, cheaper, and safer than ever before. As an open-source framework, developers gain free access to a wide codebase developed and used by industry-leading teams building some of the biggest networks today. Learn more.
More than 150 projects are building on Substrate
From DeFi to NFTs, gaming to decentralized indentity, and more, Substrate’s technology is fueling the next wave of innovation in the blockchain industry. Learn more about how the ecosystem of builders have addressed prominent challenges such as transaction costs, network security, and more.
