Market commentary

Good Morning!

Today we take a look at the DOT token, native to the Polkadot blockchain, which is one of the many tokens we analyse in our sector reports.

A brief introduction to Polkadot

Polkadot is a new generation blockchain protocol that simplifies cross-chain communication and interoperability by bringing multiple blockchains securely and seamlessly into one network. Its aim: to be a framework for all blockchains.

Sector: Smart contract
Category: Infrastructure
Token type: Native
Token usage: Vote, Payment
Consensus algo: Proof-of-Stake

Polkadot (DOT) is the native token of the Polkadot blockchain. It is a sharded blockchain, meaning it connects and enables several blockchains to run independently and together in a single network. These blockchains can process transactions in parallel and exchange data between chains with security guarantees, transferring all types of messages between them, across public, open permissionless blockchains as well as private, permissioned blockchains.

The project was started by Ethereum co-founder Dr. Gavin Wood with the ambition of challenging Ethereum’s dominance.
