Polkadot

The Polkadot blockchain unites and secures a growing ecosystem of specialized blockchains called parachains. Applications and services on Polkadot can securely communicate across chains, providing the basis for a truly interoperable decentralized web.

The key features of the Polkadot network are:

• True interoperability, as it enables cross-blockchain transfers of any type of data or asset, not just tokens, allowing interoperability with a wide variety of blockchains in the network
• Economic and transactional scalability, as Polkadot provides unprecedented scalability by enabling a common set of validators to secure multiple blockchains and spreading transactions across multiple parallel blockchains
• Easy blockchain innovation, allowing for the creation of a custom blockchain in minutes using the Substrate framework
• High energy efficiency, as Polkadot consumes a small fraction of the energy used by conventional blockchains thanks to its next-generation nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) model
• Security for everyone, as Polkadot's novel data availability and validity scheme allows chains to interact with each other in a meaningful way, with chains remaining independent in their governance, but united in their security
• User-driven governance, as Polkadot has a sophisticated governance system where all stakeholders have a voice and network upgrades are coordinated on-chain and enacted autonomously and without forking the network.

There are several SDKs available for developers wanting to interact with the Kusama network.

• Python
• Flutter
• Go
• Java
• Kotlin
• To easily add wallets to your dApp polkadot-onboard

The Substrate Stack Exchange is a great place to look when debugging your issues.

Assets in XCM can be transferred between consensus systems through two primary methods:

• Asset Teleportation
• Reserve Asset Transfers.
