What would you build with one Rust library on any @Polkadot chain?
- A bot that reacts to every finalized block
- An indexer that keeps decoding through runtime upgrades
- A browser app that verifies chain data through a light client
subxt handles transactions, storage, runtime APIs, and block subscriptions. Typed or dynamic, your choice.

Web3’s final frontier: proving you’re a real person while keeping everything else private.
Humanity is an open-source proof of concept for the @Polkadot ecosystem that takes it on, building on host code that already gives apps accounts and signing without exposing keys.

Traditional blockchains make every node repeat the same work. Add more machines, and you get more copies doing the same thing, but not more compute.
That model has a ceiling, especially as the internet shifts toward AI, agents, and increasingly compute-heavy applications.
JAM is built differently. Work can happen in parallel across the network and be verified by other validators, turning many machines into something resembling one shared computer.
As the network grows, its computing power can grow with it.
Hashing public keys into your message topics seems private.
It isn’t. Take the open-source code and the account list from chain state, and an observer can compute every topic in seconds on a laptop.

Already write Solidity? Revive brings Solidity compilation for PolkaVM to the @Polkadot ecosystem.
Revive compiles Solidity contracts to run on PolkaVM, Polkadot's RISC-V virtual machine. Your contracts can work with the assets and apps on Polkadot Hub, without having to learn a new language.
Keep the tools you use, with a Hardhat plugin and an npm package. It's experimental and open source, published for developers to test, build on and shape:

Bitcoin showed an open network can agree on who owns what, with no bank in charge.
Humanity on @Polkadot takes on the next problem: recognising that an account belongs to one real person without anyone learning who they are.
⚠️ Scam Alert: Fake Parity Wallet Website
We've been made aware of a fraudulent website, parity-wallet[.]com, impersonating Parity Technologies and offering potentially malicious wallet software downloads.
This website is not affiliated with Parity.
Do not visit the site, download any files or run software obtained from it.
Please stay vigilant and verify sources before downloading any software.
Building for the Human Web3 means a layer that keeps working when one server, one region or one company doesn’t.
Apps served from the browser.
Chain data checked by a light client.
Signing that never hands keys to the app.
All open-source code, out in the open for anyone to build on.
BREAKING: Multiple online services are down or 'experiencing issues.'
Google Cloud has reported "issues" in its western Europe region affecting dozens of websites, including; Revolut, Royal Mail and HSBC.

As products like the @Polkadot app bring more people on-chain, the network underneath has to grow with them.
Today, the nodes serving users are run by separate groups, each funded on its own terms.
What if validators, already a large and accountable fleet, took on more of that work, and were paid for the extra capacity?
Validators, we'd like to hear from you:
- If you ran an extra node alongside your validator, what would break first?
- How much notice would you need to add hardware?
- What would make it worth doing, beyond covering the cost?

Your old phone can keep your keys safer than your new one.
In 2018, Parity Signer turned a spare smartphone into an offline signing device for @Polkadot. Keys never touch the internet. Transactions travel in and out by QR code, and the phone signs them without ever going online.
The project lives on as Polkadot Vault, now developed and maintained by @NovasamaTech.

Levity brings decentralised hosting and storage code to the @Polkadot ecosystem.
Authorise. Store. Retrieve via IPFS. Data is retained by default for ~14 days, renewable before expiry. Content is addressed by hash, not by server location.
Experimental, open-source, and published for developers to explore.

Web3 arrived with technology that could change how we interact, build, connect, communicate, and own our data. Then it got complicated before most people could grasp what it was actually for.
Jollity starts from people. Once a week, you play a quick game on camera with a handful of strangers. They confirm you're a real person and nobody learns who you are.
One piece of a larger direction. Trinity. Playground. Product SDK. Each solves a different problem.
Together they describe the same thing: a decentralised web that works for people rather than asking people to work for it.
Deploying a fully decentralized app with frontend hosting, domain registration, and identity verified on-chain usually meant falling back on Web2 infrastructure for the hard parts.
At @Web3summit 2026, devs tested an experimental proof of concept with the Playground CLI to run the entire flow on-chain. 🧵
From there, builders picked their path.
Terminal users ran pg login - scanned a QR code and approved on their phone and the CLI handled the rest. pg mod pulled any app from the registry. pg deploy --playground published it.
Browser users opened RevX without installing anything. They could modify an existing app with AI assistance, preview it live, and publish from the tab.
Mobile users opened the site builder, picked a template, and tapped deploy. Live on Levity in seconds.
Behind that one deploy command: Levity upload, Nominality registration, registry publish, live URL, share link was all automatic.
The app appeared in the shared registry, earned XP, and anyone could fork it.
190 people shipped something real in under 30 minutes. All repos are open source at github.com/paritytech
Most apps reach you through someone else's server. If that server goes down or gets blocked, the app goes with it.
dot.li skips that step. Open a .dot name in any browser, and your browser fetches the app straight from the network, with no gateways or proxies in between.
You get exactly what was published, and you can check it.
See how Polkadot.com could be hosted entirely on-chain.

What if a blockchain worked more like a computer?
JAM is designed to split work across hundreds of cores running in parallel, bringing results together in one shared state where services can interact directly.
Here is a look at the engineering design and how it explores scaling capabilities for the @Polkadot ecosystem:
parity.io/blog/jam-what-it-i…
Ethereum and Solana showed how much can be built when developers can deploy code directly to a general-purpose blockchain.
JAM brings @Polkadot into the same territory with an architecture built around parallel computation. Its cores can work on different jobs at the same time, running smart contracts, agents and other software across a shared environment.
This is Polkadot’s evolution into a collective computer that @gavofyork describes.
