What is Polkadot (DOT) and how to get an instant DOT loan

Forever cast under the shadow of competitors like Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, and Bitcoin, Polkadot (DOT) struggled to make a name for itself but eventually grew to be one of the most diverse blockchains out there. Features like pooled security and trust-free interchain transact ability make it unique in addition to its multi-chain technology called “parachains.”

In short, Polkadot is a fully scalable heterogeneous parachain technology that lets blockchain transfer value and other messages in a trustless fashion. Polkadot’s native token DOT has a total supply of 1 billion and can be found on all major exchanges (and YouHodler).

Pros and Cons of Polkadot (DOT)

Pros:

  • Innovative parachain structure allows it to build bridges between external networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin
  • Developers can launch their own chains and applications using the pooled security model. Hence, they don’t have to worry about getting miners or validators to keep their own chains secure
  • Polkadot raised $200 million in the early stages of development and was quick to make business development partnerships with top projects like Chainlink.
  • Developers have increased flexibility thanks to the Parity Technologies Substrate modular framework which helps them find the best component for their specific application.

Cons:

  • There are only a limited number of parachains. Slots are sold via auctions which could potentially price out some smaller use cases
  • Hackers have attacked Polkadot a couple of times with millions of dollars being lost in the process
  • There is a lot of competition for Polkadot like Tezos, Cardano, and Ethereum.
