About Us
Parity is one of the world's most experienced core blockchain infrastructure companies, laying the foundation for the new decentralised internet. Parity was founded by Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum, the primary engineer behind the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), inventor of the Solidity programming language, and primary author of the Ethereum Yellowpaper.
We believe in a decentralised web that respects the freedom and data of individuals and empowers developers to create better services. Our vision is to create a world based on truthful, rather than trustful, interactions.
With a remote-first, global team, Parity is building open-source technologies for developers and organisations to implement and build upon. Our Web3 tech stack includes Polkadot , Substrate , and Kusama .

About the Team The Parachains Core team is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the core technology of the Polkadot blockchain. The team's responsibility is focused on the implementation of parachain consensus in the Polkadot Node and Runtime. Our mission is to continuously push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of security, scalability and decentralization of blockchain networks. We embody the open source culture by building, sharing ideas, and taking feedback openly on Github: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk
