## About Parity

Parity's goal is to be the fastest, lightest, and most secure Ethereum client. We are developing Parity using the sophisticated and cutting-edge Rust programming language. Parity is licensed under the GPLv3, and can be used for all your Ethereum needs.

Parity comes with a built-in wallet, to install it please follow [these instructions](https://wiki.parity.io/Parity-Wallet). It includes various functionality allowing you to:

- create and manage your Ethereum accounts;
- manage your Ether and any Ethereum tokens;
- create and register your own tokens;
- and much more.

From Parity Ethereum client version >=1.10, the User Interface (UI) is accessible in a separate application called Parity UI. To keep using the UI in the browser (deprecated), [follow these steps](https://wiki.parity.io/FAQ-Basic-Operations,-Configuration,-and-Synchronization.md#the-parity-ui-application-isnt-working-the-way-i-want).
From Parity Ethereum client version 1.10.0, the User Interface (UI) is accessible in a separate application called Parity UI. To keep using the UI in the browser (deprecated), [follow these steps](https://wiki.parity.io/FAQ-Basic-Operations,-Configuration,-and-Synchronization.md#the-parity-ui-application-isnt-working-the-way-i-want).

By default, Parity will also run a JSONRPC server on `127.0.0.1:8545` and a websockets server on `127.0.0.1:8546`. This is fully configurable and supports a number of APIs.
