How long does a Polkadot (DOT) transaction take?

Polkadot's relay chain produces a block roughly every 6 seconds, so a DOT transfer usually confirms within seconds. Staking is different: unstaking DOT triggers an "unbonding" period that has been 28 days (Polkadot is reworking it to cut it drastically), during which the tokens cannot be moved.

Yes. On Polkadot, staking works by nominating validators: you bond DOT to back the nodes that secure the network and earn rewards per era (24-hour periods). Rewards and locked funds are not a guaranteed return, and the DOT price can move while they are bonded.

What is the DOT token actually for?

DOT has three concrete roles: voting in the network's on-chain governance, taking part in the staking that secures it, and "bonding" tokens to support the parachains connected to the relay chain. Its utility is tied to coordinating the multichain ecosystem rather than paying gas fees.

Does Polkadot have a supply cap on DOT?

No. Unlike Bitcoin, DOT has no fixed maximum supply: the network issues new tokens each year as staking rewards, with an inflation rate that adjusts to how much DOT is staked. It is an inflationary model designed to incentivize network security, unlike cryptos with a capped supply.

Why does the DOT price go up or down?

The DOT price reacts to interest in its cross-chain interoperability model, to demand for parachain space (previously via "slot" auctions, now moving toward a "coretime" system) and to broad crypto-market sentiment. It is a volatile asset: it can move sharply in a short time and offers no guarantee of appreciation.
