Filtering Chains by Tags

To filter chains using tags:

Use Cases for Tags

• Group chains by network (e.g., Polkadot, Kusama, Westend)
• Categorize chains by type (e.g., Relay Chain, System Chain, Parachain)
• Create custom categories for specific projects or use cases

By utilizing tags effectively, developers can create a highly organized workspace within the Polkadot Developer Console, tailored to their specific project needs and workflow preferences.
