Parity Technologies

Stop building for a million users before you have your first ten! One of the biggest misconceptions about Polkadot is that you need to launch a full parachain just to get started. In reality, Polkadot offers the most flexible "graduation" path in Web3. You can now start with the simplicity of a smart contract and scale your infrastructure only as your demand requires. 1️⃣ Deploy with Revive Use your existing Solidity skills to launch smart contracts on Polkadot Hub. It’s Ethereum-compatible, fast, and removes infrastructure overhead so you can focus on building your application. 2️⃣ Scale with Agile Coretime As your application grows, move beyond smart contracts into your own pay-as-you-go Polkadot rollup (parathread). Access dedicated blockspace and greater control without committing to a permanently reserved core. 3️⃣ Expand with a Dedicated Parachain When you reach ecosystem scale, secure one or more dedicated cores to run a full parachain with maximum sovereignty, predictable throughput, and the ability to scale further with Elastic Scaling. At Parity, we’re building Web3 infrastructure that grows with you from your first line of Solidity to your own sovereign chain. The path is clear. 🛠️ https://docs.polkadot.com/

Web3 Summit 2026 is not being programmed in the traditional sense. It’s being shaped by participants, which also makes it a rallying call. To researchers with ideas worth challenging. To developers building things that others need to experience firsthand. To artists, musicians, and performers exploring technology as culture. To people with something unfinished but important to test in public. We’re opening applications for speakers, performers, artists, and contributors for this year’s Web3 Summit at Funkhaus Berlin, June 18–19. More importantly, you are free to participate without an application! This year’s Summit is designed less as a conference and more as a participatory environment shaped by talkers, listeners, realists, optimists, artists, developers, musicians, designers… and you. If your work touches privacy, sovereignty, usable decentralized systems, or challenges how we think about them, we’d love to see you there. 🔗 https://web3summit.com

One of the hardest problems in blockchain engineering has always been balancing security, decentralization, and scalability. Research like ELVES, developed by the Parity research team and already deployed in Polkadot and Kusama, explores a different way to approach that problem. Rather than relying on large validator committees to uphold strong security assumptions, ELVES starts with a very small subset of validators and expands only as needed. It can increase performance headroom, improve resource efficiency, and expand what builders can assume when designing applications at scale. That’s where protocol research starts becoming enabling infrastructure. This short explainer explains how ELVES works and why it matters. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/d7pmp5wa 

Web3 Summit isn’t about presenting technology via slide decks or one-way talks. It’s about putting the tech in your hands. At the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin, June 18–19, Parity engineers will help you explore modular infrastructure, smart contract environments, and new execution models in real time. Test it. Break it. Shape it. More Info: https://lnkd.in/eQT4WBRd

A lot of companies are pulling back. We’re not. Parity Technologies is expanding because building real infrastructure doesn’t happen in cycles of hype; it happens through sustained engineering. If you want to work on the systems behind Polkadot, take a look: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dEuQM88R 

AI is starting to compress the smart contract development loop. Here are two resources worth exploring on Polkadot: RevX: A browser-based IDE for writing and testing contracts without heavy setup. 🔗 https://revx.dev/ Polkadot AI resources (MCP): Let's AI tools plug directly into Polkadot docs and workflows. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d6CWpwBA Less time configuring. More time building.

We’re not hiring for roles; we’re building a culture of people who want to understand how things work and then improve them. This month, we’ve welcomed engineers working deep in runtime systems, a veteran game artist exploring how technology is experienced, and builders focused on bringing real products into users’ hands. Different paths and different disciplines, but a shared instinct: curiosity, precision, and a bias toward building. At Parity, infrastructure isn’t abstract. It’s something you can test, question, and improve together. Welcome to the team 👋 Tim Nieradzik | Sergei Sakač | Subhan Naeem | Simon H.

The Polkadot Blockchain Academy Protocol Builders Program 2026 has started, and it's amazing to see the first cohort of students in Lisbon at the Parity offices. Picked from over 700 applications worldwide, this first cohort represents the top 3%. The program is led by some of Parity's finest engineers, including Kian P., Shawn Tabrizi & Maciej Żyszkiewicz, who deliver hands-on sessions on Substrate, FRAME, XCM, and protocol design. With great education comes great responsibility 🦾

A lot of people think of cloud computing as something that lives in data centers. But the reality can look very different. There are over 7 billion smartphones in use globally, almost one for every person on Earth. That’s a massive amount of distributed compute, already deployed. The question isn’t one of availability. It’s coordination. Projects in the Polkadot ecosystem, like Acurast, are exploring what happens when that compute becomes part of a decentralized network. Instead of relying on centralized infrastructure, workloads can be executed across a network of devices, including smartphones, using secure hardware environments. This opens up new possibilities for: • decentralized compute • edge-based infrastructure • more resilient systems It’s still early, but it points toward a different model: From centralized cloud → to globally distributed compute. 👉 https://acurast.com/

We’re hiring a Content & Communications Associate at Parity Technologies. This role sits at the intersection of content, product, and engineering, with a primary focus on turning complex work into clear, structured communication. It’s not about volume. It’s about accuracy, clarity, and consistency. If you’re detail-oriented, comfortable around technical topics, and enjoy working across teams, take a look. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dvpBaVpt
