Trustbase: the extraditor of Polkadot ecological developer

According to the statistics of PolkaProject, as of January 31st, the number of projects based on Polkadot Ecology has reached 354, covering many fields such as DeFi, privacy, games, wallets, etc., and the expansion speed of projects is still increasing.

Among them, nearly 1/3 of the projects (114) are parallel chains developed based on Polkadot blockchain framework Substrate. As an open source development framework provided by Polkadot for global blockchain developers, Substrate framework is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the formation of Polkadot ecology.

Traversing the blockchain world before Polkadot came out, no public chain or project can unite other projects to work together as quickly as Polkadot, and this is just the beginning.

Substrate: a sharp weapon to realize Web 3.0

When Gavin Wood showed the world to develop a blockchain in 15 minutes at the Web 3 Summit in 2018, people realized that a new era had been opened.

Before the emergence of Substrate, people did repetitive things in every blockchain, such as p2p network, consensus protocol, Merkle tree, etc. These complicated basic design work consumed great energy of developers, and "repeatedly making wheels" became an unbearable burden for blockchain developers.

The Substrate framework modularizes the basic underlying design of blockchain, so that developers only need to "call with one button", which saves the original complicated workload and can greatly improve the efficiency of developers, thus paying more attention to the development of business logic.

Not only that, Gavin Wood, as the author of the Yellow Book of Ethereum, also put the unfinished things of Ethereum into the framework of Substrate. As a highly customizable and adaptable blockchain development framework, Substrate has been endowed with unprecedented characteristics:

Scalability. Isolated blockchain can only handle limited traffic, while the blockchain developed based on Substrate enables transactions to be processed efficiently and in parallel through the parallel chain mechanism.

Specialization. Substrate framework can build blocks according to specific use cases or applications, and then create highly customized blockchain.

Interoperability. Different blockchains based on Substrate framework can share information and functions, and realize interoperability and compatibility between chains.

No branching upgrade. The Runtime section in the Substrate framework gives the blockchain no time-consuming and splitting when upgrading; New functions can be added without completely transforming the network.

Autonomy. Communities can manage their networks according to their own wishes, and have transparent rights and interests in future Polkadot network governance. Teams can customize and optimize their blockchain governance according to their own needs, experiment with new ideas, or deploy preset modules faster

With the help of Substrate framework, Gavin Wood opened the era of "one-click chain", making Polkadot a "platform of blockchain platform". From this point of view, the positioning of the Substrate framework is similar to the ERC-20 standard of Ethereum-from "one-click coin issuing" of Ethereum to "one-click chain issuing" of Polkadot.

Since then, through "one-click chain" and parallel chain slot bidding, any developer can create a parallel chain of Polkadot, customize it according to specific use cases or applications, and share the information and functions of Polkadot's global ecology, which is an unprecedented innovation in the development history of blockchain.

For this reason, many developers were quickly encircled by Substrate after being exposed to it, and more and more teams began to actively build a series of applications. At present, nearly one third (114) of Polkadot parallel chain projects adopt the Substrate framework, which not only establishes the position of Substrate as the best blockchain building tool, but also shows that the Polkadot multi-chain ecology based on it has strong vitality in the long run:

Compatible with TEE, hardware trusted module and privacy module, it is convenient for other blockchain engineers to use, develop and re-develop. it is doomed that its future development volume will be unprecedented, and it is even hopeful to realize the integration and landing of blockchain and real economy and society by combining with real valuable fields such as artificial intelligence, big data, internet of things and cloud computing.

Hurricanes often start in Weiping, and Polkadot's achievements in the PolkaProject are just the beginning of building its own blockchain empire brick by brick, which also proves that Gavin Wood's Web3.0 is striding towards us.

In this journey, Substrate is the unswerving tool that can help developers go forward.
