What is Polkadot? ($DOT)

Founded by co-founder of Ethereum, Gavin Wood developed Polkadot to solve the limitations of isolated blockchains.

Polkadot unites and secures a growing ecosystem of specialised blockchains called parachains. Apps and services on Polkadot can securely communicate across chains via Cross-Consensus Message Format (XCM), forming the basis for a truly interoperable decentralised web.
