Primary-source asset brief

What is Polkadot?

Polkadot provides shared security and interoperable blockspace for specialized chains. DOT is staked by validators and nominators, used in governance and can purchase or help allocate coretime—the network resource applications use to access relay-chain security.

Since November 2024, gross annual issuance follows a fixed 120-million-DOT model rather than a percentage inflation rate, with issuance divided between staking and treasury under governance rules. Net supply growth can be lower when fees or unused treasury funds are burned.

Common misconception

The word “new” in some market-data slugs distinguishes the current redenominated asset record; it does not mean holders need to buy a separate new Polkadot token.

        History

        The chart uses stored 5-minute and hourly OHLC observations. It labels partial coverage instead of stretching it into a longer history.

        Our calculations

        Ranks, sector deltas and shares use the 50 assets in CryptoDigest’s published research universe. Turnover is volume ÷ market cap.

        Source boundary

        Supply and extended returns come from the live market-data feed; network facts link to project documentation. Nothing here is investment advice.
