Buy Polkadot | How to Buy DOT

What is Polkadot?

Polkadot (DOT) was developed by Dr. Gavin Wood, one of the founders of Ethereum (the world’s second-biggest crypto). It launched in 2018, with the support of the Web3 Foundation. One of the key drivers of the asset tokenization revolution, Polkadot is designed to help send information seamlessly between blockchains. And as more and more of the world’s databases upgrade to blockchain, this ability will become more and more crucial.

Uniting a growing ecosystem

Polkadot’s goal is to unite and secure an ever-expanding ecosystem of specialised blockchains called ‘parachains’. Apps and services on Polkadot can securely communicate across chains, forming the basis for a truly interoperable decentralised web.

Creating custom blockchains

Polkadot makes it easy for developers to create their own custom blockchain in minutes, using the Substrate framework. Developers can then connect their blockchain to Polkadot and get interoperability and security from day one.
