Parity Technologies Milestones

 

Year Achievements
2015 Founded as EthCore by Ethereum co-founder Dr. Gavin Wood, along with Aeron Buchanan, TJ Saw, Ken Kappler, and Jutta Steiner. The company focused on building enterprise-grade Ethereum software infrastructure.
2016 Released the Parity Ethereum client written in Rust. It quickly became one of the fastest and most lightweight node software options on the Ethereum network. EthCore was later renamed to Parity Technologies.
2018 Introduced Substrate, an open-source framework written in Rust that allowed developers to build custom blockchains and connect them to the Polkadot network.
2019 Launched Kusama as an early-stage “canary network” for Polkadot. It became a live testing environment for governance, staking, and sharding technologies.
2020 Polkadot officially launched its Genesis block. Parity also transferred maintenance of the Parity Ethereum client to OpenEthereum, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), enabling it to focus fully on Polkadot.
2021 Completed development of Polkadot’s Parachain auction system, allowing independent layer-1 blockchains to connect to the Polkadot Relay Chain and operate together.
2024 Worked on “Polkadot 2.0” upgrades by replacing fixed parachain slot auctions with Agile Coretime, a flexible system that allows projects to purchase block space as needed.
2025 Continued deployment of the JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine) upgrade, designed to combine secure smart-contract functionality with Polkadot’s multi-chain architecture and strengthen Parity’s role in protocol research and development.
