  The quality of service which Independent Reserve provides is something that you don't find in many other crypto exchanges. Its customer service is fantastic. For a person who just started with cryptocurrencies, his customer service officer, Roger, patiently guided me along the way — highly recommended.

  Highly recommend Independent Reserve for the level of efficiency and support I've received on many occasions based on lack of experience in cryptocurrency trading on my part. On every occasion the staff have been unbelievably patient, caring and accommodating successfully resolving matters beyond my expectations! Great work guys!

  I find the level of service by the support team at Independent Reserve to be prompt, knowledgeable, patient!!! and they work with you to solve the issue. Yesterday, I was using PayId for the first time and after a few false starts, Melanie had me all sorted out. A previous issue I had with my initial purchases was also extremely well-handled. They way they handle queries, educates you and gets you off to a good start...

What is Polkadot (DOT)?

Polkadot is a multi-chain application platform and cryptocurrency. Its open-source protocol is built for interoperability and interconnectivity between blockchains. Polkadot fosters the development of innovative Web3 technologies. The network is made to scale and can support a wide range of decentralised products and services.

Blockchains (in general) are built, secured, and governed with decentralisation in mind. They are written using various programming languages and operate on different cryptography systems. This has made things challenging when it comes to cross-chain integration. Polkadot seeks to provide a solution.

A platform for Web3

Polkadot is the first layer-0 protocol in the world. It enables different blockchains to share information and digital assets in a trustless and secure manner, while retaining their own governance and tokens. This is groundbreaking because it makes it simple for people to use blockchain-based applications together.

Polkadot fulfils its primary purpose of connecting blockchain networks through parachains and parathreads. They delegate their consensus and security computations to the relay chain, Polkadot’s central component, to process fast and congestion-free transactions. Polkadot can also connect to independent blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum through bridges.

Built-in capabilities

Polkadot provides a foundation for layer-1 projects to build on top of, without having to start from scratch. It features an out-of-the-box building environment where developers can create their own decentralised applications (dApps) using Polkadot’s own programming language, Substrate. It enables smart contracts to be exchanged seamlessly across chains using Polkadot’s XCM consensus messaging format.

The native token of the Polkadot blockchain is DOT, which powers the whole Polkadot ecosystem and is currently one of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation.

Who is behind Polkadot?

Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum.

Polkadot began as a concept in a whitepaper published by Gavin Wood, one of the co-founders of Ethereum, in 2016. With Robert Habermier and Peter Czaban, Polkadot was completed for its launch in May 2020. The blockchain network quickly became one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Polkadot’s creators also founded the Web3 Foundation to develop the network further and to maintain its open-source code.

What is Polkadot’s DOT token used for?

DOT is the native token of the Polkadot blockchain.

DOT tokens power the entire Polkadot network. DOT is used for operating, maintaining, and securing Polkadot. With its consensus mechanism, Polkadot tokens are staked to confirm transactions and secure the Polkadot blockchain. DOT is also essential for governance as it allows holders to vote for changes in the network or propose the changes themselves. Many developers purchase DOT to participate in parachain options and lease space on the network.

Bonding is the process of locking up DOT tokens by staking them for the duration of a project's leasing period. DOT holders can also bond DOT to nominate parachain projects and possibly earn token rewards.

How is Polkadot structured?

Relay chains, parachains, parathreads, and bridges

The Polkadot network consists of four core components: relay chains, parachains, parathreads, and bridges. The relay chain is the control centre of the whole network, which handles the records of coin transactions, maintains security, and provides interoperability.

Parachains and parathreads are similar in terms of functionality. These are independent blockchains that connect to the relay chain to allow interoperability. The difference is that parachains lease a spot while parathreads pay to use Polkadot’s resources only when needed.

Finally, Polkadot has bridges that allow parachains to exchange data with blockchains outside the network like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

How is Polkadot secured?

The network uses nominated proof of stake (NPoS) mechanism

With the NPoS mechanism, validators and nominators are selected to maximise chain security. This way, chains can interact securely under the same rules while retaining scalability.

What is unique about Polkadot?

Polkadot aims to provide interoperability and scalability

Unlike other cryptocurrency networks, Polkadot focuses on achieving interoperability while increasing the speed and efficiency of managing a multitude of transactions simultaneously. It creates an ecosystem where different blockchain networks can communicate seamlessly. This makes it possible to exchange tokens and arbitrary data between different blockchains.

What affects the price of Polkadot (DOT)?

Several factors can influence the price of Polkadot (DOT)

This includes supply and demand, general economic environment, news cycle, and public sentiment. Its biggest drivers are Bitcoin's price movement and the network's development.

Does Polkadot (DOT) have real-world uses?

Yes, DOT can be used for real-world transactions

Polkadot can be used for payments and donations in the real world. However, its uses are primarily exhibited in staking, bonding, and governance in the Polkadot network.

Is it too late to buy Polkadot (DOT)?

It’s up to you to determine whether to invest in Polkadot

Polkadot is still in its early stages, and it has the potential to continue to grow in the future (view the Polkadot price here ). However, it’s still important to note that Polkadot is just as volatile as all cryptocurrencies. It can be subjected to high upswings and downturns. Before you purchase crypto like Polkadot, do your research and don’t put in money you can’t afford to lose.
