Expand description

In-depth guides about the most common components of the Polkadot SDK. They are slightly more high level and broad than reference docs.

§Polkadot SDK Docs Guides

This crate contains a collection of guides that are foundational to the developers of Polkadot SDK. They are common user-journeys that are traversed in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Modules§

  • How to change the consensus engine of both the node and the runtime.
  • How to enhance a given runtime and node to be cumulus-enabled, run it as a parachain and connect it to a relay-chain.
  • How to enable storage weight reclaiming in a parachain node and runtime. This guide will teach you how to enable storage weight reclaiming for a parachain. The explanations in this guide assume a project structure similar to the one detailed in the substrate documentation. Full technical details are available in the original pull request.
  • How to make a given runtime XCM-enabled, capable of sending messages (Transact) between itself and the relay chain to which it is connected.
  • Running the given runtime with a node. No specific consensus mechanism is used at this stage.
  • Write your first simple pallet, learning the most most basic features of FRAME along the way.
  • Writing your first real runtime, and successfully compiling it to WASM.
