About Polkadot
Polkadot is a platform that allows diverse blockchains to transfer messages, including value, in a trust-free fashion; sharing their unique features while pooling their security. In brief, Polkadot is a scalable heterogeneous multi-chain technology.
Polkadot is heterogeneous because it is entirely flexible and makes no assumption about the nature or structure of the chains in the network. Even non-blockchain systems or data structures can become parachains if they fulfill a set of criteria.
Polkadot may be considered equivalent to a set of independent chains (e.g. a set containing Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Namecoin and Bitcoin) except with important additions: pooled security and trust-free interchain transactability.
Many of the native parachains of Polkadot will be written using a Polkadot Runtime Environment SDK (e.g. Parity Technologies' Substrate).

How Polkadot Works
Polkadot is a blockchain platform designed to enable different blockchains to interoperate and share information securely.
It uses a heterogeneous multi-chain framework that allows various blockchains, called 'parachains', to connect to a central relay chain. This architecture aims to solve scalability and interoperability issues present in many existing blockchain networks.
What Moves the Polkadot Price
Polkadot's price is influenced by its adoption as a platform for building interoperable blockchain applications and services.
The overall market conditions in the cryptocurrency space, including investor sentiment and demand for interoperability solutions, play a significant role.
Developments and updates related to the Polkadot ecosystem, such as the launch of new parachains or upgrades to the network's technology, can impact its value.
Regulatory changes affecting blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in major markets can also affect Polkadot's price.

Polkadot Tokenomics & Supply
Polkadot has a circulating supply of 1,709,005,547 DOT out of a maximum of 2,100,000,000 DOT, and a total supply of 1,708,934,761 DOT. Its fully diluted valuation is $1.78B.
About 81.4% of Polkadot's maximum supply of 2,100,000,000 DOT is in circulation. The remaining 18.6% — roughly 390,994,453 DOT — has yet to enter the market, a potential dilution of up to about 23% in the token count if it is all eventually issued.
Its market cap ($1.75B) and fully-diluted valuation ($1.78B) are close, so most of the supply is already circulating and future dilution is limited.
