Parity Technologies, a developer of blockchain infrastructures, has launched Substrate, a tool that enables users to develop customized blockchains for decentralized applications.

As claimed, the open-source tech is designed to be generic enough to offer flexibility while designing blockchains. The included API also lets users develop tailored consensus mechanism. However, they can also utilize the existing algorithms.

The firm has integrated the tool with its blockchain interoperability protocol Polkadot. It is written using Rust programming, while a JavaScript implementation can run in web browsers.

Gavin Wood, Founder of Parity Technologies and co-founder of Ethereum, has claimed that Substrate is loaded with benefits of Ethereum and Polkadot.
