* Guide: Reindent the router module with 4 spaces The guide used to use 2 spaces for indentation. The problem with that is `mdbook` doesn't recognize them as a proper indentation and thus doesn't render indent properly. A couple of things are not indented here because they will be changed in the following commits * Guide: a bunch of fixes
Preamble
This document aims to describe the purpose, functionality, and implementation of the host for Polkadot's parachains functionality - that is, the software which provides security and advancement for constituent parachains. It is not for the implementer of a specific parachain but rather for the implementer of the Parachain Host. In practice, this is for the implementers of Polkadot in general.
There are a number of other documents describing the research in more detail. All referenced documents will be linked here and should be read alongside this document for the best understanding of the full picture. However, this is the only document which aims to describe key aspects of Polkadot's particular instantiation of much of that research down to low-level technical details and software architecture.
