Economic & Transactional Scalability.
Polkadot provides unprecedented economic scalability by enabling a common set of validators to secure multiple blockchains.
Easy Blockchain Innovation.
Connect your chain to Polkadot and get interoperability and security from day one. This ease of development helps Polkadot’s network grow.
High Energy Efficiency.
The platform consumes a small fraction of the energy used by conventional blockchains thanks to its next-generation nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) model.
Security for Everyone.
The platform's novel data availability and validity scheme allows chains to interact with each other in a meaningful way.
