Cardano will use the modular Substrate framework, which is a core part of Polkadot, to develop the infrastructure of its partner chain framework.
Polkadot developers have announced via X (formerly Twitter) that Substrate will be the basis for Cardano's partner chain framework, which was presented this week as an innovation that will allow for expanded interoperability and scalability of this network in the blockchain ecosystem, while projects can take advantage of its technology and security to create new custom and independent blockchains.
According to Polkadot’s post, the integration of Substrate into Cardano aims to showcase the potential of this multi-chain framework to expand across Web3 and its ease of use for other blockchain ecosystems.
Substrate is the main Software Development Kit or Polkadot SDK, which allows the construction of independent blockchains, called parachains, that make up this blockchain ecosystem.
Cardano and Polkadot, one of the most exciting partnerships in the blockchain industry
Cardano and Polkadot are two of the most innovative projects in the crypto industry and also two of the most capitalized networks and cryptocurrencies on the market. Therefore, the partnership between the two represents a milestone for interoperability between blockchain networks.
The crypto community has hailed this partnership as one of the most exciting ever seen in the industry.
Rather than reinventing the wheel by building a new modular framework from scratch, Cardano is giving Substrate a chance, “a flexible, robust, and battle-tested technology stack,” commented X user @0xgoku_.
The first blockchain network to implement Cardano's new partner chain framework will be the Midnight Network, as he pointed the Cardano Foundation, this very week.
The Impact of Cardano and Polkadot Partnership
At the time of writing, neither Cardano nor Polkadot are reflecting an increase in their respective cryptocurrencies. However, this is an innovative partnership between Cardano and Polkadot, so it is expected to bring new fruits for both projects.
As Polkadot developers point out, as Cardano expands its technology and ecosystem, Polkadot gains further credibility as an ideal multi-chain environment for building the interoperable future of the blockchain industry.
