Polkadot (DOT) trades at $0.770973, down 9.1% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $1.3B, the 55-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -82% (down), and it sits -99% from its all-time high. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 27 (COOL). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Overview What is Polkadot
Polkadot is a platform that allows diverse blockchains to transfer messages, including value, in a trust-free fashion; sharing their unique features while pooling their security. In brief, Polkadot is a scalable heterogeneous multi-chain technology.
Polkadot is heterogeneous because it is entirely flexible and makes no assumption about the nature or structure of the chains in the network. Even non-blockchain systems or data structures can become parachains if they fulfill a set of criteria.
Polkadot may be considered equivalent to a set of independent chains (e.g. a set containing Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Namecoin and Bitcoin) except with important additions: pooled security and trust-free interchain transactability.
Many of the native parachains of Polkadot will be written using a Polkadot Runtime Environment SDK (e.g. Parity Technologies' Substrate).

Far below its all-time high
Trading -99% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Public repository is quiet
No public commits in the past four weeks (development may be happening in private). Worth confirming the project's continuity separately.
These signals are extracted automatically by deterministic rules from the data on this page — price, volume, unlocks, development activity and chain usage. They do not forecast prices, and they contain no social-media rumour or speculation.This is not investment advice.

Returns over each period, so you can compare short-term momentum against the longer-term trend at a glance. Positive is a gain, negative a loss.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
27
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 64 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 27. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
33
→ The recent price trend is down. Going against it needs a reason.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
50
→ TVL is unremarkable relative to market cap.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → No public code updates in the last four weeks. Development may have stalled, or it may be happening in private repositories.
