Polkadot Network is a next-generation blockchain that is built to allow interoperability between different blockchains. The Polkadot token (DOT) has two main purposes: it is a governance token that gives holders the ability to affect how the protocol develops, and it is utilized for staking, which is how the Polkadot network verifies transactions and issues newly generated DOT.
