Polkadot is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform designed to connect different or unrelated blockchain networks securely and efficiently.
Unlike traditional, single-chain blockchains, Polkadot aims to improve speed and scalability by operating two types of blockchain to spread the processing demand off of the main blockchain.
Interoperability: Polkadot allows different blockchains to communicate and share information, promoting synergy between various decentralised applications (dApps).
Scalability: The use of parachains enables transactions to be processed in parallel, ensuring high throughput and efficient resource utilisation.
Shared security model: All parachains benefit from the security provided by Polkadot's Relay Chain, making it robust against attacks.
Governance: Polkadot employs on-chain governance, which allows DOT holders to propose and vote on network upgrades and changes.
