Submit the outstanding PRs from the old repos(these were already reviewed and approved before the repo rorg, but not yet submitted): Main PR: https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14014 Companion PRs: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7134, https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/pull/2489 The changes in the PR: 1. ChainSync currently calls into the block request handler directly. Instead, move the block request handler behind a trait. This allows new protocols to be plugged into ChainSync. 2. BuildNetworkParams is changed so that custom relay protocol implementations can be (optionally) passed in during network creation time. If custom protocol is not specified, it defaults to the existing block handler 3. BlockServer and BlockDownloader traits are introduced for the protocol implementation. The existing block handler has been changed to implement these traits 4. Other changes: [X] Make TxHash serializable. This is needed for exchanging the serialized hash in the relay protocol messages [X] Clean up types no longer used(OpaqueBlockRequest, OpaqueBlockResponse) --------- Co-authored-by: Dmitry Markin <dmitry@markin.tech> Co-authored-by: command-bot <>
NOTE: We have recently made significant changes to our repository structure. In order to streamline our development process and foster better contributions, we have merged three separate repositories Cumulus, Substrate and Polkadot into this repository. Read more about the changes here.
Polkadot SDK
The Polkadot SDK repository provides all the resources needed to start building on the Polkadot network, a multi-chain blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to interoperate and share information in a secure and scalable way. The Polkadot SDK comprises three main pieces of software:
Polkadot
Implementation of a node for the https://polkadot.network in Rust, using the Substrate framework. This directory
currently contains runtimes for the Polkadot, Kusama, Westend, and Rococo networks. In the future, these will be
relocated to the runtimes repository.
Substrate
Substrate is the primary blockchain SDK used by developers to create the parachains that make up the Polkadot network. Additionally, it allows for the development of self-sovereign blockchains that operate completely independently of Polkadot.
Cumulus
Cumulus is a set of tools for writing Substrate-based Polkadot parachains.
