The primary idea behind having a series of parachains is to introduce the notion of **sharding**. Each parachain can run its own, unique application specific state transition function (also referred to as a **runtime**). Parachains can now work in parallel to one another, focusing on their specific application, whilst still being finalized by the relay chain's validator set.

:::

**Parachains** are also full-fledged blockchains, but unlike a **solo chain**, they are able to interoperate with other parachains on the relay chain. Parachains have the advantage of the relay chain finalizing and validating their state transitions - meaning the relay chain represents the state of all of its parachains on the network.
