Polkadot (DOT)

What is Polkadot?

Polkadot is a multi-chain protocol that allows different blockchains to communicate and share security. DOT is used for protocol governance, staking and parachain bonding.

Polkadot's architecture features a central relay chain that coordinates security and communication between connected parachains. Parachain slots are assigned through auctions in which projects must lock DOT for a fixed period. This creates structural demand for DOT tied to ecosystem growth. Polkadot 2.0 introduces a more flexible model with coretime, simplifying access for new projects.
