Parity Technologies - Blockchain Infrastructure for the Decentralized Web

Company Overview

Parity Technologies was founded in 2015 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood. Headquartered in London with a remote-first structure of around 200 people across the globe and four European hubs, Parity is a recognized leader in blockchain technology with a strong focus on Polkadot. The company builds cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure solutions, enabling businesses and organizations to capitalize on blockchain technology and benefit from decentralized systems.

Core Technology

Substrate

Substrate is Parity's industry-standard blockchain framework, enabling developers to build custom blockchains optimized for any use case. Substrate provides the foundation for Polkadot and enables projects to launch as independent chains or connect to the Polkadot ecosystem.

Polkadot

Polkadot is a decentralized web blockchain meta-protocol designed to secure and connect crypto-economies. Working with the Web3 Foundation, Parity completed the launch of Polkadot in 2020 and remains the driving force behind the blockchain network's technical progress. Polkadot enables multiple specialized blockchains (parachains) to operate together in a unified ecosystem.
