Polkadot (DOT) is a next-generation blockchain protocol designed to enable interoperability between different blockchains, allowing them to communicate and share data in a secure, decentralized way. Launched by Dr. Gavin Wood, Polkadot connects independent blockchains into a unified network called a parachain, while its relay chain ensures consensus and security. DOT, the native token of Polkadot, is used for staking, governance, and bonding new parachains. Known for its scalability and flexibility, Polkadot supports a wide range of applications, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to NFTs.
