⚗️Notes about Substrate

Quick-start guide on substrate framework (before you dive in too far)

Summary

substrate_ is a Rust-based framework for building blockchains built on the foundation of web3 foundation research.

substrate_ was used to build the Polkadot network.

using substrate_ as a framework creates interoperability with the Polkadot network but does not require integration with the Polkadot network. The framework can be used to build independent blockchain applications, including private blockchains.

Using substrate_ requires knowledge of the Rust programming language, especially the idea of generic types and trait bounding .
