Polkadot (DOT)

Multi-chain protocol for blockchain interoperability

A layer-0 protocol enabling different blockchains to interoperate and share security. Uses Nominated Proof-of-Stake and OpenGov for community governance. I've been deep in the Polkadot ecosystem for years — it's one of the most actively governed networks in crypto.
