Bitcoin vs Polkadot: Key Differences
Bitcoin (BTC) runs on the Bitcoin network using Proof-of-Work mining, built primarily for decentralized store-of-value and final settlement. Polkadot (DOT) runs on the Polkadot relay chain using Nominated Proof-of-Stake, known for cross-chain interoperability between parachains. Swapping BTC to DOT lets you rotate exposure from digital gold into a multi-chain interoperability network in one step, without selling to fiat first.
