The crypto market is exciting but fragmented with thousands of cryptocurrencies running on probably hundreds of different blockchains.
It is an evolution of other blockchains such as Ethereum and Cardano in the sense that it enables everyone to build custom blockchains on its platform, with the added advantage of seamless, quick and transparent data exchange between these blockchains.
Like Cardano, Polkadot also boasts an Ethereum alumnus in its founding team.
