Polkadot vs L1 Giants: A Unique Place in the Blockchain Landscape! 🆚🌐
In June 2025, Polkadot occupies a unique position among other Layer 1 (L1) blockchains. Unlike monolithic L1s (Ethereum, Solana), Polkadot focuses on interoperability and shared security. Its parachain model allows each application to have its own specialized blockchain, which is protected by the entire Polkadot network. This distinguishes it from other multi-chain solutions, where the security of individual chains can be independent. Polkadot aims to provide infrastructure where dApps can "switch" between chains as easily as browsers switch between websites.
