Welcome to the learner's section of the Polkadot Wiki.

Whether you are a developer or someone just getting started with
blockchain, here you will learn how the Polkadot network works from the ground up - from accounts to the protocols that power the Polkadot network.

If you want to learn more about how to use different tools on Polkadot, you can visit the [Polkadot Technical Explainers playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOyWqupZ-WGuAuS00rK-pebTMAOxW41W8) on YouTube.
