I didn’t realize @Polkadot had such a rich history.
It goes back to 2015 with ETHCore.
> A small team led by Gavin Wood and Jutta Steiner, trying to build faster and safer blockchain infrastructure.
> That team became Parity Technologies.
> They shipped the first Rust blockchain client, then Parity Ethereum, which was one of the fastest and most widely used clients at the time.
2018 → Substrate launched, giving developers a toolkit to build custom blockchains.
2020 → Polkadot mainnet went live.
2021 → parachains.
2022–24 → OpenGov, async backing, JAM groundwork.
Now in 2025 the focus is Polkadot 2.0.
Elastic scaling, PolkaVM, and a new push for usability.
From ETHCore to today, it’s been 10 years of shipping 🚢
🔟 years of building.
From ETHCore → Substrate → @Polkadot.
The story of @paritytech is one of resilience, innovation & a mission to build a better internet. 🧵👇
