Relay Chain

The Relay Chain is the foundational blockchain that underpins the Polkadot network, providing a secure platform for parachains to connect, share security, and facilitate message passing. Validators on the Relay Chain play a crucial role in maintaining the security and integrity of the parachains.

Parachains

Parachains represent a class of blockchain networks intricately linked to the relay chain, which is a fundamental component of the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. These parachains are designed as application-specific data structures, leveraging the relay chain's capabilities to validate transactions. The relay chain serves as a foundational architecture, fostering secure and efficient communication channels among all interconnected blockchains within these networks, commonly referred to as parachains. This framework not only enhances transactional integrity but also underpins the interoperability and scalability of the broader Polkadot and Kusama systems.

Collators

Collators maintain parachains by collecting parachain transactions from users and producing state transition proofs for Relay Chain validators.

XCM

Cross-Consensus Messaging (XCM) is a specialized messaging format and language designed for intercommunication between different consensus systems.
