Framework

A Framework in the context of Substrate and Polkadot refers to a structured and flexible set of tools, libraries, and guidelines provided by Substrate – the primary blockchain development framework used within the Polkadot ecosystem.

Substrate framework is designed to simplify and accelerate the creation of custom blockchains (referred to as parachains) by developers. Substrate offers essential building blocks, such as pre-built modules, APIs, and development environments, enabling developers to construct and customise their blockchains efficiently within the Polkadot network.
