Polkadot

Polkadot is a protocol that enables cross-blockchain transfers of any type of data or asset. 

By uniting multiple blockchains, Polkadot aims to achieve high degrees of security and scalability. 

DOT serves as the protocol’s governance token and can be used for staking to secure the network or to connect (“bond”) new chains.
