As stewards of the Polkadot and Substrate ecosystem, Parity is laying the foundation for a better web—one that respects individual freedom and data, and empowers developers to build better services through decentralized technology. The internet is too important to billions of people for it to be at the mercy of a few powerful companies.
With a remote-first, global team, Parity is building open-source technologies for developers and organizations to implement and build upon. Our Web3 tech stack includes Polkadot, Substrate, and Kusama.
We believe in a decentralized web that respects individual freedom and data, enabling developers to create groundbreaking services. Our mission? To make Polkadot the most active and innovative community in blockchain.
