Revolutionizing Polkadot’s On-Chain Governance with AI
Polkadot, a pioneering blockchain platform, prides itself on its decentralized governance system. The token holders are who decide which proposals are enacted, placing the network's evolution in the hands of the community.
For decentralized governance to thrive, it’s crucial that the community remains engaged, well-informed, and capable of understanding active proposals and the governance system. However, given the busy lives of community members, achieving this level of engagement is challenging.
We saw an opportunity to harness recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) to address this challenge. LLMs excel in understanding natural language, generating text, summarizing content, and performing sentiment analysis. By integrating these capabilities, we developed an AI assistant, that answers users questions about:
Behind the scenes the solution consists of 2 main components:
Our solution transformed the way Polkadot’s community interacts with the governance system. The AI-powered chat interface made it easier for users to stay informed, understand complex proposals, and engage in meaningful discussions. This not only increased community participation but also enhanced the overall efficiency and transparency of the governance process.
