Technical analysis by Morningtsar about Symbol DOT on 10/10/2025

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.
