The main Polkadot/Substrate browser UI (portal) for interacting with nodes across Polkadot and Substrate-based chains. It is a TypeScript monorepo application, hostable via web, Docker, or IPFS, providing wallet, staking, governance, and chain-exploration features.
Use cases
- interact with a polkadot or substrate node from a browser
- manage polkadot wallet accounts and transfer tokens
- explore blocks and extrinsics on a substrate chain
- run a self-hosted blockchain UI via docker or ipfs
- add custom chain support to a substrate UI
- perform staking and governance actions on polkadot
When to choose
- you need a full-featured UI for Polkadot/Substrate chains
- you want a hosted or self-hosted wallet and chain explorer
- you are a chain developer adding custom types and metadata to a UI
When to avoid
- you need a programmatic library rather than a UI (use polkadot-js/api)
- you work with non-Substrate blockchains
- you need a lightweight mobile wallet app
