What is Polkadot?

Polkadot, founded by Dr. Gavin Wood, is a layer-0 protocol and multichain network that offers security, scalability, and interoperability for diverse layer-1 blockchains and dApps. It serves as a sharded multichain protocol, enabling seamless cross-chain transfer of data and assets beyond tokens. With open governance and autonomous updates, Polkadot supports a network of connected blockchains, known as parachains.
