What is polkadot? Get a quick overview
Since the first cryptocurrency, bitcoin, saw the light of day in 2009, many more have entered the picture. One of the newer cryptocurrencies is polkadot, which entered the market in 2017. Polkadot was developed by Dr. Gavin Wood, who also helped create ethereum.
What makes polkadot special is that it’s a cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, with a purpose of making it possible for other blockchains in the world to communicate. Right now, for example, it's not possible for bitcoin and ethereum to communicate with each other. To do so, a type of “bridge” is needed to connect them.
And that’s exactly what polkadot tries to be.
