1.12.4.3 Parachains

As shown in Figure 1.17, Parachains or parallel chains work in

parallel to the main Blockchain ecosystem. The beauty of this

architecture is that this ecosystem can be extremely scalable as

each Parachain can share the load and execute the transactions.

Also, they can interact with the other Parachains as well as the main

chain at the same time through messaging.

This model has been used by Polkadot interoperable Blockchain to

be discussed in Chapter 10.

Refer to Figure 1.17, as follows:
