The Future of Decentralised Apps

Why Polkadot Will be a Catalyst for Decentralised Apps

My latest article:

Polkadot is an open-source multichain that facilitates interoperability between blockchains, and it will be a catalyst for decentralised apps (dApps). Some crypto pundits have nicknamed Polkadot as the ‘mother of all blockchains’. Polkadot’s high interoperability with different blockchains is revolutionary. But it goes beyond blockchains. Interoperability with standard WebAssembly (Wasm) is perhaps the start of a truly decentralised internet, which could drastically change how the internet works. For startups and existing organisations, Polkadot is a technology to be aware of and follow.
