Polkadot is a revolutionary blockchain infrastructure designed to enable the next generation of the web where users control their own data and identity.

It also allows interaction with non-blockchain systems and established blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
With a transaction speed of up to one thousand transactions per second, Polkadot solves the major problems that hampered blockchain adoption to date and enables blockchain applications from decentralized finance (DeFi) and energy to the Internet of things (IoT) and gaming.
