Parachains are Kusama’s advanced, next-generation blockchains that bring several breakthroughs compared to legacy networks. Together they form the Kusama ecosystem, an interconnected network of specialized chains breaking down the walls of the centralized web.

While other blockchain networks only allow developers to build dapps using smart contracts, Kusama gives them full control over the underlying blockchain itself. This flexibility gives parachain developers the maximum freedom to optimize for specific use cases — which means better and more secure dapps and services for all.
