Part of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/5079.

Removes all usage of the static async backing params, replacing them
with dynamically computed equivalent values (based on the claim queue
and scheduling lookahead).

Adds a new runtime API for querying the scheduling lookahead value. If
not present, falls back to 3 (the default value that is backwards
compatible with values we have on production networks for
allowed_ancestry_len)

Also resolves most of
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/4447, removing code
that handles async backing not yet being enabled.
While doing this, I removed the support for collation protocol version 1
on collators, as it only worked for leaves not supporting async backing
(which are none).
I also unhooked the legacy v1 statement-distribution (for the same
reason as above). That subsystem is basically dead code now, so I had to
remove some of its tests as they would no longer pass (since the
subsystem no longer sends messages to the legacy variant). I did not
remove the entire legacy subsystem yet, as that would pollute this PR
too much. We can remove the entire v1 and v2 validation protocols in a
follow up PR.

In another PR: remove test files with names `prospective_parachains`
(it'd pollute this PR if we do now)

TODO:
- [x] add deprecation warnings
- [x] prdoc

StackExchange  GitHub contributors  GitHub commit activity  GitHub last commit

The Polkadot SDK repository provides all the components needed to start building on the Polkadot network, a multi-chain blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to interoperate and share information in a secure and scalable way.

⚡ Quickstart

If you want to get an example node running quickly you can execute the following getting started script:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/master/scripts/getting-started.sh | bash

📚 Documentation

🚀 Releases

Current Stable Release  Next Stable Release

The Polkadot SDK is released every three months as a stableYYMM release. They are supported for one year with patches. See the next upcoming versions in the Release Registry and more docs in RELEASE.md.

You can use psvm to update all dependencies to a specific version without needing to manually select the correct version for each crate.

🛠️ Tooling

Polkadot SDK Version Manager: A simple tool to manage and update the Polkadot SDK dependencies in any Cargo.toml file. It will automatically update the Polkadot SDK dependencies to their correct crates.io version.

Polkadot Fellowship

Development in this repo usually goes hand in hand with the fellowship organization. In short, this repository provides all the SDK pieces needed to build both Polkadot and its parachains. But, the actual Polkadot runtime lives in the fellowship/runtimes repository. Read more about the fellowship, this separation, the RFC process here.

History

This repository is the amalgamation of 3 separate repositories that used to make up Polkadot SDK, namely Substrate, Polkadot and Cumulus. Read more about the merge and its history here.
