What is Polkadot?

Polkadot is a next-generation Layer 0 protocol designed to enable interoperability across blockchains. Its native token, DOT, is used for staking, governance, and securing the network, as well as bonding parachains that connect to the Polkadot ecosystem.

Why Polkadot Matters

Most blockchains operate in isolation, limiting their functionality. Polkadot solves this by providing a foundation where multiple specialised blockchains (parachains) can work together seamlessly. Its strengths include:

• Interoperability: Connects independent blockchains to share data and assets.
• Scalability: Supports many blockchains running in parallel.
• Shared Security: All parachains benefit from the security of the Polkadot relay chain.
• Customisation: Developers can launch purpose-built parachains for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and enterprise use cases.

This makes Polkadot a foundational infrastructure project in the Web3 ecosystem.
