> 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 [

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:

Implementation of a node for the https://polkadot.network in Rust, using the Substrate framework. This directory
currently contains runtimes for the Westend and Rococo test networks. Polkadot, Kusama and their system chain runtimes
are located in the [`runtimes`](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/) repository maintained by
[the Polkadot Technical Fellowship](https://polkadot-fellows.github.io/dashboard/#/overview).

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.

The Polkadot-SDK has two release channels: `stable` and `nightly`. Production software is advised to
only use `stable`. `nightly` is meant for tinkerers to try out the latest features. The detailed
release process is described in [RELEASE.md](docs/RELEASE.md).

`nightly` is meant for tinkerers to try out the latest features. The detailed release process is described in
[RELEASE.md](docs/RELEASE.md).
### 😌 Stable

### Stable
`stable` releases have a support duration of **three months**. In this period, the release will not
have any breaking changes. It will receive bug fixes, security fixes, performance fixes and new
non-breaking features on a **two week** cadence.

### 🀠 Nightly

### Nightly
`nightly` releases are released every night from the `master` branch, potentially with breaking
changes. They have pre-release version numbers in the format `major.0.0-nightlyYYMMDD`.

Development in this repo usually goes hand in hand with the `fellowship` organization. In short,
this repository provides all the SDK pieces needed to build both Polkadot and its parachains. But,
the actual Polkadot runtime lives in the `fellowship/runtimes` repository. Read more about the
fellowship, this separation, the RFC process
[here](https://polkadot-fellows.github.io/dashboard/).

## History

- For monitoring upcoming changes and current proposals related to the technical implementation of the Polkadot network,
visit the [`Requests for Comment (RFC)`](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs) repository. While it's maintained
by the Polkadot Fellowship, the RFC process welcomes contributions from everyone.
This repository is the amalgamation of 3 separate repositories that used to make up Polkadot SDK,
namely Substrate, Polkadot and Cumulus. Read more about the merge and its history
