Investing in Polkadot
Polkadot was created in 2016 and introduced several novel technical features aimed at incentivising a scalable global network of computers where users can launch and operate their own blockchains.
To achieve scalability Polkadot operates two types of blockchains: a main network, called a relay chain, where transactions are permanent, and user-created networks, called parachains. Parachains are one way in which interoperability can be implemented between blockchain networks. This combination of interoperability, scalability and customisability is thought to be the key to a diverse ecosystem built on Polkadot.
