About Polkadot
How Polkadot works
Polkadot is the token of a decentralised finance protocol governed by its holders. Rather than a base chain, it represents a specific application — such as lending, trading or liquid staking — and DOT typically grants governance rights and, in some cases, a share of protocol fees.
What is Polkadot used for?
DOT is used to vote on protocol decisions, and its value is closely tied to the adoption and revenue of the underlying protocol — which is why the market-cap-to-TVL ratio is a key valuation lens.
Risks & considerations
All crypto-assets are volatile and high-risk; never invest more than you can afford to lose. Specific risks include protocol exploits, governance attacks and the token's dependence on the underlying protocol's revenue.
