Polkadot /DOT

What Is POLKADOT (DOT)?

Polkadot (DOT) is a unique heterogeneous multichain network that allows different blockchains to connect and interact with one another. It is also a Web 3 platform supporting decentralized web. DOT is the native cryptocurrency of Polkadot blockchain used for staking, transaction fees, bonding parachains, incentives, and cross-chain functionality.

The Polkadot Whitepaper was introduced in 2016 by Gavin Wood, Ethereum co-founder, Robert Habermeier, and Peter Czaban. The Polkadot blockchain network was launched on May 26, 2020. “Parachain”, the first blockchain building on the Polkadot network was in December 2021.

The Kusuma often referred to as the “canary” multichain network based on Polkadot’s code was launched in September 2019 by Parity Technologies, which allows developers to test the new features before deploying them on Polkadot’s blockchain.

How Does Polkadot (DOT) Work?

Polkadot operates through a core network “the Relay chain”, and is responsible for security and communication. Utilizing a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism, the network is secured by allowing validators to be nominated by DOT holders. 

Parachains on top of the Relay chains, running parallel can be used for special cases to connect the Relay chain, enabling cross-chain communication and asset transfers, as well as interaction with external networks through bridge parachains. Using the Polkadot SDK development kit developers can create their parachains to operate on the Polkadot network.
