Polkadot Launches Mobile App in the US: Release Expected in June
Date: 2025-06-05 Author: Henry Casey Categories: BUSINESS
Parity Technologies announced that the Polkadot mobile app is undergoing moderation in the largest app stores - the App Store and Google Play. It is expected that, barring any unexpected delays, the app will be available to users in the US by the end of June. The final stages of testing are currently being completed, and training is being conducted for community members who will help new users within the app.
What is Polkadot and how does its ecosystem work
Polkadot is a decentralized open-source platform that occupies an important place in the blockchain infrastructure. Its architecture is built on two main components: Relay Chain, which acts as the main blockchain, and many parachains - independent blockchains operating in parallel. This structure allows for scalability and security of the network with a high degree of decentralization.
One of the key features of Polkadot is the ability to interact between parachains and the Relay Chain in real time. To develop and launch native blockchain applications, the Substrate platform is used, which automatically ensures the compatibility of a new parachain with the rest of the network. Reliability and data verification are provided by validators working within the common ecosystem.
DOT as a fundamental element of network governance
The native DOT token performs several important functions in the Polkadot ecosystem. It is used to participate in network governance - token holders can vote for protocol updates, determine fees, and influence the policy of adding or removing parachains. In addition, DOT is used for staking - that is, ensuring the operation of the consensus mechanism - and for linking new parachains to the main chain.
Thus, the launch of the mobile application will be another step towards developing accessibility and user experience in the Polkadot ecosystem, and will also allow American users to get to know the network's capabilities better.
