Polkadot is a network designed to let many different blockchains work together as one connected system. Launched in 2020 and co-founded by Gavin Wood, an early Ethereum contributor who helped create its core smart-contract language, Polkadot tackles a specific problem: blockchains have historically been islands, unable to easily share data or value with one another. Its native coin, DOT, is used for staking, governance, and connecting new chains. This guide explains Polkadot’s relay-chain-and-parachain design, how it enables interoperability, the Substrate framework, and what to keep in mind.
