Create Your Own Blockchain — No Coding Required.
Site Tool

The Parachain Runtime Builder (PRB) is a tool designed to streamline the creation of custom blockchains, known as parachains. By leveraging Polkadot’s modular architecture and pre-built pallets, the PRB empowers developers to reduce time to market while fostering innovation and accessibility.

What is the Parachain Runtime Builder?

The Parachain Runtime Builder is a robust development platform that simplifies the process of building custom blockchains for the Polkadot network. Its primary goal is to abstract the complexities of blockchain development, allowing developers to focus on functionality and user experience. The tool achieves this by offering:

  • Pre-Built Templates: Tailored for various use cases, including DeFi, Governance, NFTs, and supply chain management, these templates provide a foundational structure for parachain development.
  • Automated Pallet Configuration: PRB automatically configures pallets with default parameters, which can be customized further to meet the specific needs of different projects. This eliminates the challenges of managing pallet compatibility and interdependencies.

Key Features of the Parachain Runtime Builder

  1. Ease of Use: The intuitive interface of PRB allows developers, regardless of experience level, to create functional blockchains with minimal effort. By handling intricate configurations, PRB reduces the technical barriers associated with blockchain development.
  2. Educational Value: Beyond development, PRB serves as a valuable learning tool for developers, educators, and students. It provides hands-on experience with Polkadot’s architecture, fostering a deeper understanding of blockchain technology.
  3. Customization and Scalability: Developers can select and modify a wide array of pallets to create blockchains tailored to specific requirements. With access to Polkadot’s shared security and interoperability, parachains built with PRB are scalable and compatible with other parachains in the ecosystem.
  4. Support for Multiple Use Cases: From gaming and DeFi to governance and supply chain solutions, PRB caters to a diverse range of applications. Its templates and pallets make it an ideal tool for rapid prototyping and deployment.

How the Parachain Runtime Builder Works

The PRB streamlines blockchain development through a structured workflow:

  1. Template Selection: Users begin by choosing between standalone blockchains (solochains) or parachains that connect to the Polkadot network. Solochains operate independently, while parachains leverage Polkadot’s shared security, scalability, and interoperability.
  2. Pallet Configuration: Essential pallets such as “Pallet Balances,” “Pallet Sudo,” and “Pallet Transaction Payment” are pre-selected to ensure the blockchain’s core functionality. Additional pallets, including those for governance, identity, and asset management, can be added or removed based on project needs.
  3. Consensus Mechanism and Governance Model: Developers can choose from various consensus mechanisms (e.g., Proof of Stake or Proof of Authority) and governance models (e.g., decentralized governance or OpenGov) to align with their project’s goals.
  4. Deployment: With configurations complete, developers can deploy their blockchain in just a few clicks, significantly accelerating the development cycle.

Applications of the Parachain Runtime Builder

The flexibility of PRB makes it suitable for numerous blockchain applications, including:

  • Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Build parachains optimized for decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, and asset tokenization.
  • Governance: Design blockchains with advanced voting and proposal systems to facilitate decentralized decision-making.
  • NFTs and Gaming: Develop ecosystems for non-fungible tokens and blockchain-based gaming experiences.
  • Supply Chain Management: Create transparent and efficient supply chain solutions leveraging Polkadot’s interoperability.

Benefits of Using the Parachain Runtime Builder

  • Reduced Time to Market: By automating complex processes, PRB enables rapid prototyping and faster deployment.
  • Accessibility: Developers of all experience levels can create sophisticated blockchains without extensive technical expertise.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Simplified development reduces the resources needed to build and maintain blockchains.
  • Polkadot Ecosystem Integration: Parachains built with PRB seamlessly integrate with the Polkadot network, benefiting from shared security and interoperability.
