Build Any Blockchain
Substrate comes with everything you need to build your blockchain. Use Substrate’s pallets to easily create what you want, or craft your own custom logic. Either way, Substrate makes building a blockchain far faster, easier, and safer than ever before.
Cross-Language Support with WebAssembly
WebAssembly is the next web standard. Write your blockchain logic in any language that can compile to it, including C/C++, C#, Typescript, and Rust.
Light-Client Friendly
Substrate comes with a light client built in from day one. Use your mobile-ready blockchain anywhere.
Forkless Upgrades
Upgrading blockchains has never been easier. With Substrate, everybody stays on the same path.
Built-in Coordination
Substrate comes with the tools to help networks decide which upgrades to implement.
