Polkadot started in 2016 as Gavin Wood’s vision for blockchains to connect. Since then, it has grown through Kusama, parachains, Polkadot 2.0, and open governance. By 2025, institutions like banks and funds began exploring it for real-world assets, tokenization, and Web3 infrastructurs, showing that Polkadot is more than just about DOT’s price.
