Polkadot DOT/USD is a blockchain network that aims to promote a heterogeneous multichain framework.
It is powered by its native cryptocurrency token, known as DOT, and its ecosystem aims to resolve many of the limitations found within competing blockchain platforms, such as scalability and security.
The launch of the cross-consensus messaging format as a catalyst for growth
On May 4, Polkadot launched its messaging system known as XCM (cross-consensus messaging) as a means of enabling communication across a variety of different parachains, which allows assets, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs), to be transferred from one chain to another chain.
This marked a major milestone within the Polkadot ecosystem, as it fulfills the foundational objective it originally set out to achieve by being a fully interoperable multichain ecosystem.
The project claims that messages across XCM channels will not suffer from any weakest-link issues, as it is secured at the same level as Polkadot’s central hub Relay Chain.
This comes right after we covered how on April 7, Polkadex Crowdloan got back on the Polkadot parachain auctions with increased rewards.
