The current price of Polkadot’s native token, DOT, is trading at $4.21, showing a small increment of 0.83% in the last 24 hours. The market capitalization of Polkadot stands at $6.62 billion, placing the crypto coin in the 20th position in the world of cryptocurrencies.

The layer-0 protocol named Polkadot, which is one of its kind, is still being praised for its unique feature of providing seamless blockchain interoperability. This interoperability enables various blockchains to communicate and cooperate with each other, forming a decentralized web, which is also known as Web3.

Polkadot is a subject of discussion in the cryptocurrency market for its potential to be the best among many. As the 24-hour trading volume increased to $166.84 million, and a 32.43% rise was recorded, this clearly showed the crowd that was behind the $99 side of the buy-sell volume. The Relay Chain of the network is not only the place where it is operating through, but it also forms the uppermost part of Web3, which is the backbone for decentralized web development and innovation.

The decentralized way of the collaborations of multichain archetypes is operated in DOT, Polkadot, which, on the other hand, differentiates it from traditional blockchains, the sharded multichain architecture. Polkadot’s unlimited inflation model with a circulating supply of 1.57 billion DOT and no maximum supply cap is the main driver of network growth. The Substrate framework is the basic bedrock for developers to easily create blockchains with Polkadot’s modified design.

Polkadot is an on-chain, or if it were an off-chain, project that involves the token holder, otherwise not, a governance model that is an open structure to all DOT holders. Polkadot’s Nominated Proof-of-Stake consensus enhances security while allowing token holders to stake and earn rewards. Now that developers and investors have the freedom to choose their way in the ecosystem, it is more a favorite not only with investors but also with developers.

The 30-day price gain of Polkadot, which is 1%, shows that the project is experiencing steady growth even in this volatile market. Going by the fully diluted valuation, Polkadot has the potential of being valued as much as $6.64 billion. With the pace at which more and more projects are coming onboard Polkadot’s ecosystem, it will be a matter of time before its position as the gateway for cross-chain communication is further consolidated, in turn creating more demand for its DOT.

Polkadot’s parachains, independent blockchains connected to the Relay Chain, allow for use cases that can be designed according to specific needs, from DeFi to gaming. Parathreads offer an economic way of getting connected, while bridges are connections to other networks like Ethereum. Such flexibility attracts developers who are looking for a way to scale their solutions, thus giving the network an additional boost in accordance with the trend of market adoption and relevance.

Polkadot, a 2020 project launched by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood after it had raised $145 million in its ICO, is steered by the W3 Foundation in a bid to drive the decentralization of the internet. As of now, Wood’s big picture of a blockchain ecosystem that is connected through interoperability has prompted the affirmation of Polkadot as it is now the home for more than 1,000 projects.

Polkadot 2.0 is one of the recent upgrades that make core time agile and introduce elastic scaling, significantly increasing throughput capacity. Furthermore, the forthcoming Snowbridge, expected to be an easy-to-use bridge for linking Ethereum and Polkadot, is in the final stage of preparation, so it is likely to be used soon. As a consequence, the features mentioned above have included Polkadot in the list of the most prospective cryptocurrencies, and many have predicted that it could achieve $5 in the near future, for example, by the beginning of the year 2025.

The decrease of Polkadot’s market cap by a significant 92% from $55 (its all-time high in 2021) has still not eroded the confidence of its investors, who are very sure that consistently being among the 20 biggest is a testimony to the fact that the technology has no equal. The two main reasons for its leadership – the scalability and the interoperability – have enabled it to stand head and shoulders above any likely competition.

Groups in the cryptocurrency community like X are discussing the release of Polkadot’s ETF on Nasdaq. The general sentiment is that this development is referred to as a sleeper. It means many smart observers in the trading platform think that Polkadot will make a 150% leap if it breaks the resistance. The position of
