A home base for apps on Polkadot
Polkadot Hub is a central gateway for creating and trading assets, deploying Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, and accessing native Polkadot features—all within Polkadot’s high-performance, secure, and scalable Web3 platform.
Easily build, endlessly scale
Building on Polkadot has never been better. With Polkadot Hub, developers can seamlessly deploy Solidity smart contracts while accessing native staking, liquidity, and on-chain governance capabilities—all on Polkadot’s highly performant cross-chain infrastructure.
Fast & scalable
Polkadot’s high-performance virtual machine (PolkaVM) is expected to be orders of magnitude faster than EVM.
Dev friendly
Deploy existing or new Solidity smart contracts with minimal changes using standard Ethereum tooling and workflows.
Secure
Dapps are backed by the full economic security of Polkadot, and trustless bridges to Ethereum mainnet let you connect your assets securely.
Low cost
Enjoy predictable, low transaction fees and reliable performance at scale.
Future-proof
Grow as demand for your dapp grows: start with a smart contract and scale up to a custom rollup all within the same ecosystem.
Your all-access pass to Polkadot
The Polkadot Hub is the all-in-one destination for users to tap into everything Polkadot has to offer: create and trade assets, use Ethereum-style dapps, and trustlessly bridge in tokens from other ecosystems. Whether trading, gaming, minting NFTs, or engaging in DAOs, everything is accessible within a single, easy-to-access location.
Key features of Polkadot Hub
A one-stop destination designed to simplify your development process, streamline cross-chain integration, and boost the performance of your decentralized applications.
Solidity smart contracts
Build and deploy Ethereum-style smart contracts natively on Polkadot using Solidity, with access to DOT and other assets for gas fees, governance, and staking
Familiar tooling
Use developer tools like HardHat, Foundry and Remix, popular libraries like Ethers.js/Web3.js and enjoy full integration with RPCs, indexers, block explorers, and more, with developer support available
Polkadot APIs
Access key Polkadot functions so you can integrate on-chain governance and staking—even using smart contracts to propose, vote, and participate in Polkadot’s decentralized decision-making
Flexible language support
Bring your Solidity project to Polkadot Hub with minimal changes required, or write low-level code in C/Rust and call it from Solidity—with more language support coming
Interoperable
Connect with Ethereum and other ecosystems via trustless bridges and cross-chain messaging—sharing liquidity and resources while reducing security risks
Native liquidity access
Deposit, create, and send fungible and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), including Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC)
