What Is Polkadot?
The patient architect.
Polkadot is the interoperability network designed by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood: a central relay chain that lets specialised blockchains, its parachains, share security and speak to each other. It is infrastructure with a ten-year thesis, and on the CFGI Polkadot fear and greed index it has a crowd to match, one that absorbs a brutal repricing in instalments rather than in one capitulation.
The CFGI read: In 365 days Polkadot recorded exactly one day of Extreme Fear, 19 out of 100 on 11 October 2025 with the price at $2.999, and it came on the broadest panic in our record, when 17 of the 96 coins we then scored sat in Extreme Fear and 93 in Fear or worse. The day before, DOT had taken its hardest single hit of the year, 23 points from 46 to 23. One washout, weathered with everyone else, in a year when the price fell 80.5%.
Polkadot Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
The rest of the ledger is a long, orderly grind: 121 days of Fear against 37 of Greed, zero Extreme Greed, an average of 45 out of 100. Its longest run in Fear or worse lasted just 10 days, from 21 June 2026 to 30 June 2026, remarkable discipline for a token that slid from $4.193 to $0.819 across the window, touching $0.809 on 24 July 2026. And that single day of Extreme Fear is still enough to rank DOT 34th of the coins in our full rankings for time spent there, which says more about how rare true panic is than about Polkadot.
The high-water marks all cluster in September 2025. The peak reading, 70 out of 100 on 13 September 2025 at $4.495, sat inside an eight-day run of Greed or better, and the window's price high of $4.562 followed on 18 September 2025. The biggest jump of the year, 23 points from 44 to 67 on 7 November 2025, shows the reflex is still there. Today DOT reads 33, Fear, below the midline of the overall market Fear and Greed Index, the architect's crowd taking the drawdown one instalment at a time.
