what is the mission of polkadot

Polkadot is a next-generation blockchain protocol that aims to create a fair, secure, and resilient web that protects user interests by design, also known as Web 3.0. Its mission is to enable a completely decentralized web where users are in control of their identity and data, safely secured from any central authority. Polkadot is designed to take back digital sovereignty and agency from powerful third-parties, while also providing the foundation for new business models, services, organizations, societies, and economies to take shape and thrive into the future. Polkadot facilitates an internet where independent blockchains can exchange information and transactions in a trustless way via the Polkadot relay chain, which connects private and consortium chains, public and permissionless networks, oracles, and future technologies that are yet to be created. Polkadot makes it easier than ever to create and connect decentralized applications, services, and institutions, empowering innovators to build better solutions and free society from its reliance on a broken web where its large institutions can’t violate our trust.
