Polkadot has been dubbed the “Ethereum killer” by some optimistic investors.
The parachain nature of the Polkadot blockchain allows for faster and cheaper transactions than Ethereum. Polkadot was also co-founded by Gavin Wood, who helped create Ethereum.
While Polkadot is an innovative chain, there is a lot of room to go before it overtakes Ethereum, but, in crypto, anything is possible.
