Build a parachain

The Build a parachain tutorials delve into more advanced topics for moving beyond solo chain development, including how to connect your chain to other chains.

• Prepare a local relay chain helps you prepare a local relay chain to use in testing a local parachain.
• Connect a local parachain highlights the steps necessary to connect your local parachain to a relay chain.
• Acquire a testnet slot summarizes the steps for connecting a parachain to the Rococo test network.
• Open message passing channels demonstrates how to construct cross-consensus messages to open channels that allow parachains to communicate with each other.
• Transfer assets with XCM illustrates how to use cross-consensus messages to execute a remote transfer to a parachain through the relay chain.
