# Substrate Cumulus Parachain Template A new [Cumulus](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/)-based Substrate node, ready for hacking ☁️.. This project is originally a fork of the [Substrate Node Template](https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-node-template) modified to include dependencies required for registering this node as a **parathread** or **parachain** to a **relay chain**. The stand-alone version of this template is hosted on the [Substrate Devhub Parachain Template](https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-parachain-template/) for each release of Polkadot. It is generated directly to the upstream [Parachain Template in Cumulus](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/tree/master/parachain-template) at each release branch using the [Substrate Template Generator](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-template-generator/). 👉 Learn more about parachains [here](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-parachains), and parathreads [here](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-parathreads). 🧙 Learn about how to use this template and run your own parachain testnet for it in the [Devhub Cumulus Tutorial](https://docs.substrate.io/tutorials/v3/cumulus/start-relay/).
