Parity Technologies

As stewards of the Polkadot and Substrate ecosystem, Parity is laying the foundation for a better web which respects the freedom and data of individuals and empowers developers to create better services through decentralised technology. The internet is too important to billions of people for it to be at the mercy of a few powerful companies.

Like Polkadot, Parity was built on a foundation of being decentralised and open, which trickles down to how we work.

Parity’s mission is to enable businesses and organisations to capitalise on blockchain technology and benefit from the new opportunities it presents. We develop cutting-edge software solutions for enterprises and industries to unlock the full value of decentralised technology. We believe that decentralised technology has the power to fundamentally change and enhance the systems used by businesses, consumers, and governments every day.

Current Challenges

With experience pioneering Ethereum and clients on Bitcoin and Zcash, Parity and the Web3 Foundation have launched Polkadot, a next-generation blockchain.

We are pioneers in:

On-chain governance protocol upgrades
Proof-of-Authority consensus
Private Ethereum transactions
Warp sync and pruning
Rust and Wasm in blockchain

Culture

Technology developed by a team of the world’s top blockchain engineers.

60+ developers across fifteen countries. A no-bullshit culture of getting stuff done.

We’re a distributed organisation and have been from the beginning. Being distributed isn’t just a way of doing business—it’s a mentality that is at the core of our culture. We have a flat structure that pushes power to the edges and empowers our people to take ownership of their role, authority coupled with responsibilities.
