Have you ever been criticized for your faith in a project that is doing all the work behind the scenes but is ambivalent on the chart itself? Well, welcome to Polkadot (DOT).
A brainchild of Ethereum Co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot is one of the leading blockchains in the world right now. Working on a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, it is unique in supporting multiple interconnected chains. Its interconnected nature has helped it earn a significant number of users over the last few years.
Launched in May 2020, DOT’s price soon hit $6.30 in August 2020. Broadly meandering around the price levels of $4 and $5 in 2020, its tides quickly turned the next year. With the cryptocurrency emerging to be bullish for most of 2021, DOT’s price touched an ATH of $55 in early November.
However, during the downward spiral witnessed in 2022’s Q2, even DOT suffered significant losses. In mid-July, it was valued at just a little above $6.
It is only now that DOT is recovering on the charts. In fact, at press time, DOT was rather resurgent. With a price of $9.54, the altcoin DOT was among the market’s top-10 cryptos. Its latest hike allowed the crypto to overhaul DOGE in the rankings.

This also makes DOT one of the most closely observed cryptocurrencies in the market.
