Polkadot
Polkadot is a sharded protocol that enables blockchain networks to operate together seamlessly.
What is Polkadot?
Polkadot is a decentralized protocol that enables unrelated blockchains to securely communicate with one another, for example, enabling value or data to flow between Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains without the need for an intermediary. Polkadot is also a token that can be bought and sold on exchanges like Coinbase or Binance. It's also intended to be fast and scalable, thanks to the use of numerous parallel blockchains offloading processing demands.
