Polkadot, a Web3 Foundation project, provides a framework for developers to connect and build blockchains together, enabling cross-chain communication and interoperability.
The project’s Lightpaper highlights its focus on heterogeneous sharding, scalability, upgradeability, transparent governance, and cross-chain composability, offering unique advantages over other projects.
By operating as a sharded multichain network, Polkadot can process numerous transactions across multiple chains simultaneously, overcoming the limitations of legacy networks that processed transactions sequentially.
