What is Polkadot (DOT)?
Polkadot is a public decentralized multi-chain network that prioritizes interoperability and scalability while not compromising on security. The network was founded by Gavin Wood, co-creator of Ethereum, and raised USD 145 million in its high-profile ICO in 2017. As one of the biggest projects supported by the Web3 Foundation, it is undoubtedly a project worth one's attention.
How Polkadot (DOT) Works
Unlike the majority of public blockchain networks, Polkadot introduces great infrastructure improvements. It consists of one main blockchain called the "Relay Chain", and quite a few independent sub-chains called "parachains". The Relay Chain is responsible for security, governance, and data validation. Each parachain is independent and customizable to every developer's needs. Though the parachains operate independently, they benefit from the security and interoperability of the Relay Chain, as there exist many bridges among the parachains and between the Polkadot network and other blockchain networks. At the moment, it is estimated that about 100 parachains are working in Polkadot.
Because of such a multilayered structure, Polkadot can achieve speed, security, and scalability at the same time, and is thus considered among the most scalable public blockchains, even more so than layer-2 solutions.
Polkadot uses the Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS) consensus algorithm, in which DOT holders can act as one of four stakeholders of the blockchain as follows:
- Nominators: pick validators, and secure the Relay Chain
- Validators: take part in consensus, and validate proofs from collators
- Collators: keep track of transaction records on parachains, and send such records to the Relay Chain
- Fishermen: report unusual behaviors in the network
How Many DOT Tokens Are in Circulation?
DOT is the native token of the Polkadot blockchain that can be used for staking and governance. There is no hard cap for DOT. The current DOT amount in circulation is 1.12 billion.

Situated between Sicily and the North African coast is the archipelago of Malta, a Southern European country most famous for its wonderful Mediterranean climate and scenery. While its own population comes in at just slightly over half a million people, the series of islands attracts a whopping 1.6 million tourists every year. In 2019, it even set a new record of 2.1 million tourists that year. Naturally, its economy relies heavily on tourism, although manufacturing and foreign trade also play a significant role in contributing to the country’s GDP.
Valletta stands as Malta’s capital city and is located on the main island. Although the city holds huge importance for the nation’s administrative branch, it’s ranked as the smallest capital city in the entire European Union, spanning just 0.61 square kilometers in area and with a population of just over 6000. Due to the historic nature of its architecture, the entire Valletta has also been officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1980, and is now home to a staggering 320 monuments, giving it the description “open-air museum.” Some of the most famous sites include St. John’s Co-Cathedral, the upper Barrakka Gardens, Fort St. Elmo, the Saluting Battery, and Casa Rocca Piccola.
Malta has adopted the Euro (EUR) as its national currency, and with direct support from Bitget, you can purchase polkadot(DOT) in just a matter of minutes no matter where you are in the country, whether it’s Valletta, Mdina, Sliema, St. Julian’s, or Birgu.
