About Polkadot DOT
Polkadot has been designed to perform transactions more privately and efficiently. It does this by operating two types of blockchains. There is a main network, known as a relay chain, in which transactions are permanent, as well as user-created parachains. The parachains feed into the main blockchain, allowing parachain transactions to inherit the security of the main chain.

Parachains can be customised to suit many different uses. Meant to empower developers to build better solutions, Polkadot makes it easier to connect and create decentralised institutions, services and applications offering inherent value. While the relay chain does not inherently support smart contracts, the parachains can support these.

Polkadot builds on the success of the Ethereum project while introducing unique innovations. Founded by Gavin Wood in 2016, a co-founder of Ethereum, Polkadot has raised approximately $200m across two sales of its DOT cryptocurrency. Track the price of Polkadot (DOT) on eToro today.

What Is Polkadot?

Polkadot (DOT) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform designed to connect different or unrelated blockchain networks securely and efficiently.

Unlike traditional, single-chain blockchains, Polkadot aims to improve speed and scalability by operating two types of blockchain to spread the processing demand off of the main blockchain.

Key Aspects of Polkadot:

  • Interoperability: Polkadot allows different blockchains to communicate and share information, promoting synergy between various decentralised applications (dApps).
  • Scalability: The use of parachains enables transactions to be processed in parallel, ensuring high throughput and efficient resource utilisation.
  • Shared security model: All parachains benefit from the security provided by Polkadot's Relay Chain, making it robust against attacks.
  • Governance: Polkadot employs on-chain governance, which allows DOT holders to propose and vote on network upgrades and changes.
