# Send Polkadot to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### Network Architecture

Relay Chain is the main chain — coordinates security and consensus
Parachains are independent chains — connected to Relay Chain for security
DOT is the native token — used for staking, governance, and parachain bonds
Kusama is the canary network — experimental, real value, faster upgrades

### Address Format

Addresses are different per network — same seed gives different addresses on Polkadot vs Kusama
Polkadot addresses start with "1" — Kusama starts with capital letters
SS58 format — different from Ethereum's hex addresses
One seed for all Substrate chains — but displayed address differs per chain

### DOT Token

Redenominated 100x in 2020 — old 1 DOT = new 100 DOT
10 decimals (planck is smallest unit) — different from 18 decimals on Ethereum
Existential deposit: 1 DOT minimum — accounts below this are reaped (deleted)
Locked DOT still counts for governance — can vote while staking

### Staking (Nomination)

Nominate up to 16 validators — your stake backs their validation
Minimum to earn rewards varies — currently around 250 DOT due to competition
28-day unbonding period — funds locked during unstaking
Slashing risk exists — bad validators can lose portion of stake
Rewards claimed manually or auto-compound — depends on wallet

### Staking Pools

Minimum 1 DOT to join pool — lower barrier than direct nomination
Pool operator manages validator selection — less control, more convenience
Rewards distributed by pool — minus pool commission
Same unbonding period applies — 28 days to unstake

### Governance

OpenGov system — proposals, referenda, voting
Conviction voting — lock tokens longer for more voting power
Anyone can submit proposals — DOT holders vote
Treasury funds ecosystem development — community-controlled spending

### Parachains

Parachain slots won via auctions — projects bid DOT
Crowdloans let users contribute DOT — locked for lease period (2 years)
Contributed DOT returned after lease — plus project tokens as reward
System parachains have permanent slots — Statemint, Bridge Hub

### Cross-Chain (XCM)

XCM is cross-consensus messaging — transfer assets between parachains
Teleport vs Reserve transfer — different trust models
Not all parachains support all assets — check compatibility
Fees paid in DOT or parachain token — depends on route

### Wallets

Polkadot.js is power-user wallet — full features, complex UI
Nova Wallet, Talisman — better UX for most users
Ledger support — via compatible wallets
SubWallet for mobile — good mobile experience

### Common Issues

"Existential deposit" error — balance would go below 1 DOT, add more or send all
Staking not earning — below minimum active stake threshold
Can't transfer while staking — must leave some unlocked for fees
Wrong network address — Kusama address won't work on Polkadot
Unbonding takes 28 days — patience required

### Transaction Characteristics

Transactions finalize in ~12 seconds — deterministic finality
Fees in DOT — relatively low, paid from transferable balance
Nonce-based like Ethereum — transactions processed in order
Tips for priority — optional, not usually needed

### Security

Seed phrase controls all Substrate chains — secure it carefully
Verify addresses match network — different display per chain
Check validator reputation before nominating — slashing affects you
Governance attacks possible — vote on important proposals
