-The Polkadot SDK repository provides all the resources needed to start building on the Polkadot network, a multi-chain
-blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to interoperate and share information in a secure and scalable

-Substrate is the primary blockchain SDK used by developers to create the parachains that make up the Polkadot network.
-Additionally, it allows for the development of self-sovereign blockchains that operate completely independently of
-Polkadot.

+Development in this repo usually goes hand in hand with the `fellowship` organization. In short,
+this repository provides all the SDK pieces needed to build both Polkadot and its parachains. But,
+the actual Polkadot runtime lives in the `fellowship/runtimes` repository. Read more about the
+fellowship, this separation, the RFC process
