Polkadot is a new talk in crypto environment — know more about it
Polkadot is a unique, heterogeneous network connection which can evolve into both private and transparent services. It is completely versatile and does not know the existence or configuration of the network chains. If they meet a series of conditions, even non-blockchain networks or data structures may become parachains.
Polkadot is still a developing structure for the system. This system definitely fruitful for future however this is still in an experimental state. The blockchain system is a completely decentralized platform and now it is implementing in various sector. But polkadot is a system which could able to construct a road between decentralized and centralized system.
Polkadot is intended to allow faster cycles of innovation, particularly when experimenting with new transitional state functions. For Polkadot a primary case of usage allows chain interoperability independent of their characteristics or status as a private or public chain. Interoperability requires different chains to work, like meaning, random messages.

So as I have explained about polkadot let me guide you to its features. While talking about features then we must focus on technical aspects of polkadot. Polkadot has its unique consensus mechanism but before I lead you there you need to understand how polkadot works.
Technical features:
Polkadot contains four chains which are said to be basic structure for polkadot construction. They are as follows,
Relay Chain: highly responsible for maintaining the security structure within consensus and also cross-chain interoperability. This is also known as the base of the structure.
Parachains: A cluster of blockchain which can contain their individual tokens and also the functionality.
Parathread: Like parachains on a pay-as-you-go setup parathread works. Parathread structure seems to be best for blockchains that do not require persistent network access.
Bridges: Bridges are specifically designed to create connectivity within parachain and parathread and allow them for external communication networks like bitcoin and ethereum.
As I have explained the base architectures of polkadot now its time for a brief discussion on a consensus mechanism.
Consensus:
In polkadot consensus there are four major functions are being played by four responsible positions. Fishermen analyze network performance and report misconduct to their validators. Fishermen role can be played by collators and any full node parachain. Collators keep shards by collecting users’ shard transactions and produce evidence for validators. Validators check the relay chain by staking points, verifying proof by collators and by consensus with other validators. Securing the relay network by selecting reliable validators and staking dot are the key functions of the nominators.
While governance is conducted through both technical and council members, the technical team is responsible for building continuous polkadot. It can, together with the Council, propose urgent referenda on speedy voting and implementation. In another side, council member takes care of election for the primary role of referenda proposal and also restrict referenda from malicious events.
Polkadot represents a highly secure platform for both centralized and decentralized platforms. It is also capable of running without a network connection. Many other features of polkadot are still unclear in this state of growing. As it is an evolving platform polkadot can offer more and it could be another revolution in technology.
Now, you know basics about the polkadot so we can discuss the growth around this technology. From the beginning of the launch, this particular technology gathered the attention of the stakeholders. The market capitalization of polkadot suddenly rose above 5.31 billion dollars in September 2nd, 2020 within 20 days after launch. If we focus on price then we can see that the listing price was 2.99 dollar at the time of listing but within 10 days it showed stable growth and reached up to 6.81 dollars. It was almost 127% growth. Now the price is stable around 5 dollars (at the time of writing).
Polkadot’s relay chain consists of Substrate, a blockchain construction framework which distils Ethereum, Bitcoin, and corporate blockchains, the learning building of Parity Technologies. The State-owned Polkadot machines are compiled for WebAssembly (Wasm) which develops a broad standard support ecosystem by major companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla. Polkadot also uses a multiplatform network framework libp2p for peer-to-peer application.
Having this strong support polkadot surely is establishing a secure network for all community. This underdeveloped technology has promised the security that everyone seeks nowadays. Polkadot definitely a strong and secure platform for payment and other purposes and in future it may capable of beating top three crypto coins.
