Learn more about Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot is a multi-chain blockchain intended to facilitate interoperability between blockchains. It uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which means it consumes a small fraction of the energy used by other blockchains. Polkadot was developed by Gavin Wood, one of the original Ethereum founders and the developer of the Solidity programming language. The original whitepaper describes Polkadot as a “sharded version of Ethereum” in which any Polkadot-based chain can interact without relying on third party intermediaries. DOT is the native token on the Polkadot network, used for transaction fees, governance, interoperability, and bonding.
