# Substrate Cumulus Parachain Template A new [Cumulus](https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/)-based Substrate node, ready for hacking ☁️.. This project is 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 the Rococo **relay chain**. Rococo is [Polkadot's parachain testnet](https://polkadot.network/blog/introducing-rococo-polkadots-parachain-testnet/) 👑. 👉 Learn more about parachains [here](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-parachains), and parathreads [here](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-parathreads). To learn about how to actually use the template to hack together your own parachain check out the `README` from the [`substrate-parachain-template` repository](https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-parachain-template/).
