Assist with Polkadot DOT transactions, staking, parachains, and cross-chain transfers.
Assist with Polkadot DOT transactions, staking, parachains, and cross-chain transfers.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Relay Chain is the main chain β coordinates security and consensus Parachains are independent chains β connected to Relay Chain for security DOT is the native token β used for staking, governance, and parachain bonds Kusama is the canary network β experimental, real value, faster upgrades
Addresses are different per network β same seed gives different addresses on Polkadot vs Kusama Polkadot addresses start with "1" β Kusama starts with capital letters SS58 format β different from Ethereum's hex addresses One seed for all Substrate chains β but displayed address differs per chain
Redenominated 100x in 2020 β old 1 DOT = new 100 DOT 10 decimals (planck is smallest unit) β different from 18 decimals on Ethereum Existential deposit: 1 DOT minimum β accounts below this are reaped (deleted) Locked DOT still counts for governance β can vote while staking
Nominate up to 16 validators β your stake backs their validation Minimum to earn rewards varies β currently around 250 DOT due to competition 28-day unbonding period β funds locked during unstaking Slashing risk exists β bad validators can lose portion of stake Rewards claimed manually or auto-compound β depends on wallet
Minimum 1 DOT to join pool β lower barrier than direct nomination Pool operator manages validator selection β less control, more convenience Rewards distributed by pool β minus pool commission Same unbonding period applies β 28 days to unstake
OpenGov system β proposals, referenda, voting Conviction voting β lock tokens longer for more voting power Anyone can submit proposals β DOT holders vote Treasury funds ecosystem development β community-controlled spending
Parachain slots won via auctions β projects bid DOT Crowdloans let users contribute DOT β locked for lease period (2 years) Contributed DOT returned after lease β plus project tokens as reward System parachains have permanent slots β Statemint, Bridge Hub
XCM is cross-consensus messaging β transfer assets between parachains Teleport vs Reserve transfer β different trust models Not all parachains support all assets β check compatibility Fees paid in DOT or parachain token β depends on route
Polkadot.js is power-user wallet β full features, complex UI Nova Wallet, Talisman β better UX for most users Ledger support β via compatible wallets SubWallet for mobile β good mobile experience
"Existential deposit" error β balance would go below 1 DOT, add more or send all Staking not earning β below minimum active stake threshold Can't transfer while staking β must leave some unlocked for fees Wrong network address β Kusama address won't work on Polkadot Unbonding takes 28 days β patience required
Transactions finalize in ~12 seconds β deterministic finality Fees in DOT β relatively low, paid from transferable balance Nonce-based like Ethereum β transactions processed in order Tips for priority β optional, not usually needed
Seed phrase controls all Substrate chains β secure it carefully Verify addresses match network β different display per chain Check validator reputation before nominating β slashing affects you Governance attacks possible β vote on important proposals
Agent frameworks, memory systems, reasoning layers, and model-native orchestration.
