Polkadot is a platform that enables different blockchains to communicate and share their unique features while maintaining security. It is a scalable heterogeneous multi-chain technology, meaning it can accommodate various chains without making assumptions about their nature or structure.

Many parachains in Polkadot are developed using the Polkadot Runtime Environment SDK, such as Parity Technologies' Substrate.
