Networking in Substrate - part 1

Blockchains are made of a distributed network of computers interacting in a harmonious symphony. This network facilitates the identification of network participants as well as communication among network participants.

Substrate comes out of the box with a suite of customizable network stacks that describe and facilitate how a blockchain network can be created, how new participants join, and how different kinds of network information are distributed among network participants.

In this guide, we dive into substrate network stack. The first part of this guide covers generic network functionalities including network creation, growth, and topology. The second part of the series will cover consensus-specific network protocols.
