What is Polkadot (DOT)?
Layer-1 blockchain
Polkadot (DOT) is a Layer-1 blockchain — a base network with its own consensus, validators, and native coin (DOT) used to pay fees and secure the chain. Developers build applications directly on it, and DOT is the asset that powers the whole ecosystem.
How does Polkadot work?
The Polkadot network is maintained by a distributed set of participants who validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. DOT is required to pay for transactions and, on many networks, to stake and help secure the chain in exchange for rewards.
What is DOT used for?
DOT pays network fees, can often be staked for yield, and serves as the core unit of value across apps built on Polkadot. Demand for DOT tends to track activity and adoption on the network itself.
