-Parity UI is a User Interface desktop application for [Parity Ethereum Client](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/blob/master/README.md) >=v1.10. In order to use Parity UI, you must have [Parity Ethereum Client](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/blob/master/README.md) >=v1.10 installed on your system.
