Runtime
The WebAssembly logic that defines Vara's on-chain rules.
In plain language
The runtime contains pallets, storage and dispatch logic and can be upgraded through governance without launching a separate chain.
Why it matters
Runtime changes can alter network behavior across many subsystems at once.
