What is Polkadot?
Polkadot is a decentralized, nominated proof-of-stake blockchain with smart contract functionality. The cryptocurrency native to the blockchain is the DOT. It is designed to allow blockchains to exchange messages and perform transactions with each other without a trusted third-party.
Polkadot goals
The purpose of Polkadot is to enable cross-chain transfers of data or assets, between different blockchains, and to allow decentralized applications (DApps) to be built using the Polkadot Network. The project aims to solve the problem of interoperability between different blockchains and to provide a scalable and secure platform for decentralized applications. Potential use cases and applications of the technology include decentralized finance (DeFi), customized blockspace, and connecting previously incompatible networks.
Polkadot fondamentals
The native cryptocurrency of the Polkadot blockchain is the DOT. DOT token is used for staking and governance.

Polkadot technology
Polkadot's technology works through a nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) network, designed with the roles of validators and nominators to maximize chain security. Validators on Polkadot secure the Relay Chain by staking DOT, validating proofs from collators on parachains and voting on consensus along with other validators. The Polkadot network has a primary blockchain named the 'relay chain', which provides security for parachains.
Polkadot competitors
Polkadot differentiates itself from competitors through its scalable and interoperable nature, allowing for seamless asset and data transfer between different blockchains. Its competitive advantages include its ability to connect previously incompatible networks and to provide a fast and scalable platform for decentralized applications.
