## A Go Implementation of the Polkadot Host

Gossamer is an implementation of the [Polkadot Host](https://github.com/w3f/polkadot-spec): a framework used to build and run nodes for different blockchain protocols that are compatible with the Polkadot ecosystem. The core of the Polkadot Host is the wasm runtime which handles the logic of the chain.
> **Warning**
> 2022-11-01: Gossamer is pre-production software
Gossamer includes node implementations for major blockchains within the Polkadot ecosystem and simplifies building node implementations for other blockchains. Runtimes built with [Substrate](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate) can plug their runtime into Gossamer to create a node implementation in Go.
Gossamer is an implementation of the [Polkadot Host](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-polkadot-host): an execution environment for the Polkadot runtime, which is materialized as a Web Assembly (Wasm) blob. In addition to running an embedded Wasm executor, a Polkadot Host must orchestrate a number of interrelated services, such as [networking](dot/network/README.md), block production, block finalization, a JSON-RPC server, [and more](cmd/gossamer/README.md).
