Market Cap / FDV
The proportion of current market capitalization compares to market capitalization when meeting max supply.
The closer the Mkt Cap/FDV to 1, the closer the current market capitalization to its fully diluted valuation and vice versa. Learn more about Mkt Cap/FDV here. |

Fully Diluted Valuation
Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) = Current Price x Total Supply
Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) is the theoretical market capitalization of a coin if the entirety of its supply is in circulation, based on its current market price. The FDV value is theoretical as increasing the circulating supply of a coin may impact its market price. Also depending on the tokenomics, emission schedule or lock-up period of a coin's supply, it may take a significant time before its entire supply is released into circulation.

How do you feel about DOT today?
What is Polkadot?
Polkadot is a Layer-0 open-source blockchain platform and cryptocurrency that allows multiple blockchains to connect and operate within itself. It allows protocols and blockchain to share 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.
Who founded Polkadot?
Gavin Wood, Robert Habermeier, and Peter Czaban founded Polkadot, Web3 Foundation's flagship protocol. Wood is a prominent figure in the blockchain industry, having co-founded Ethereum and Solidity. Habermeier was a Thiel Fellow with a background in blockchains and cryptography, while Czaban brings experience in fintech.
How does Polkadot work?
Polkadot’s architecture includes a central Relay Chain with non-native blockchains running on top of the network called Parachains. The Relay Chain handles the network’s security, consensus, and interoperability, secured using a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus model. Many parachains are written using the Polkadot Runtime Environment SDK, which allows developers to create their own parachains to operate on the Polkadot network.
There are many types of parachains each specialised for its own uses cases, such as:
- System parachains, which uses Polkadot’s native token, DOT
- Bridge parachains to connect to external network like Kusama, Polkadot’s Canary Network
- Smart contract parachains for hosting EVM dApps.
Polkadot 2.0
In Polkadot 2.0, Polkadot will migrate from a chain-focused ecosystem to an application-focused ecosystem. This means instead of owning an execution core at all times, each parachain will need to reserve and purchase blockspace based on their needs. The coretime marketplace model is expected to lower the entry barriers for developers.
What is the DOT token?
As Polkadot’s native token, DOT holders have governance rights to guide the operations of Polkadot DAO. They can also contribute to the network’s security through staking. New parachains are added by bidding DOT tokens through auctions. In the Polkadot 2.0 update, DOT tokens can be used to buy coretime.
