About Polkadot
Polkadot (DOT) price today is $1.09 USD, down 7.50% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of $1.86 billion (as of Oct 18, 2026, 05:42 UTC).
Polkadot was founded by Gavin Wood, a co-founder of Ethereum and creator of the Solidity language. It enables specialized blockchains (parachains) to communicate and share security through a central relay chain, creating an interconnected ecosystem.
Parachains are auctioned for slots on the relay chain, and DOT tokens are used for governance, staking, and bonding. Polkadot's architecture allows each parachain to optimize for its own use case while benefiting from the shared security of the entire network.

Polkadot FAQ
What is Polkadot (DOT)?
Polkadot is a multi-chain platform that allows different blockchains to interoperate. It uses a relay chain for shared security and parachains for specialized functions, enabling a connected web of blockchains.
What are Polkadot parachains?
Parachains are individual blockchains that connect to Polkadot's relay chain. Each parachain can be optimized for a specific use case (DeFi, gaming, identity) while benefiting from Polkadot's shared security and cross-chain communication.
How do I convert DOT to USD?
Use this calculator to convert DOT to USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, or AUD at live rates.
How does Polkadot governance work?
DOT holders can vote on proposals to upgrade the network, adjust parameters, or fund projects through Polkadot's treasury. This on-chain governance allows the network to evolve without hard forks.
Polkadot vs Ethereum?
Ethereum is a single blockchain that hosts applications, while Polkadot is a network of interconnected blockchains. Polkadot enables cross-chain communication natively; Ethereum achieves this through bridges.
