About Polkadot

Polkadot is a heterogeneous multi-chain blockchain platform designed to enable cross-chain interoperability and shared security. Founded by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood and developed by Parity Technologies, Polkadot uses a relay chain architecture that connects specialized blockchains called parachains. The network uses Nominated Proof of Stake consensus and supports forkless upgrades through on-chain governance. Polkadot's ecosystem includes numerous parachains like Moonbeam, Acala, and Astar, each optimized for specific use cases.
