Hello everyone, this is Vikk from the Hungarian Polkadot DAO, and I’m writing in connection with a new proposal on the idea of DotBot, which is currently in the RFC (Request for Comments) phase. We would like to gather as much feedback as possible from the global Polkadot and Kusama communities so we can better understand the community’s perspective on DotBot and adjust our plans accordingly. At a later stage - probably 2-3 weeks from now - we will submit the proposal to OpenGov to request funds to further develop the current POC. Thank you very much the community’s contribution! Please find DotBot’s proposal below.
In 2026, AI is everywhere, it’s our personal assistant, our co-pilot, and our researcher. But in crypto, we’re still stuck in the “manual transmission” reality, clicking through five screens just to move tokens across chains.
We think it’s time for Polkadot to have a conversation. We’re building DotBot, a chatbot that lets you execute transactions using simple English. No more overcomplicated flows, just tell the bot what you want to do, and it handles the technical heavy lifting while keeping you secure and asking for your permission when needed.
What is the goal?
Our goal is to bridge the gap between user intent and on-chain execution. We’re building the “brain” that knows which request to call and how to handle transactions easily, so you don’t have to worry about complex situations.
We know there’s still much work ahead. We’re focusing on refining the system right now and would appreciate any feedback.
What it does
The project focuses on translating user intent into safe, runtime-aware transactions across Polkadot Asset Hub and selected parachains. While basic asset transfer functionality is already implemented, further work is required to ensure correctness guarantees, robust transaction validation, and predictable behavior across wallets and runtimes.
We’re excited to share our progress on stabilizing and preparing DotBot’s execution layer for release. This includes enhancements like transaction simulation, end-to-end scenario validation, and modular infrastructure that can be reused by wallets and applications.
How can you test it?
Development of DotBot is already underway, and a functional prototype exists.
The current implementation focuses on intent-driven transaction execution rather than traditional form-based workflows. In particular, DotBot currently supports:
- Conversational input for asset transfers (only on AssetHub at the moment) using natural language
- Context-aware interpretation of user intent across multiple messages
- Clarification prompts when user intent is ambiguous (e.g. resolving “Who is Alice?”)
- Explicit user confirmation before any transaction is constructed or submitted
- Visualized execution flows that expose each step of the transaction lifecycle
- Generation of runtime-compatible Polkadot extrinsics based on interpreted intent
- Wallet-based signing using standard Polkadot browser extensions

How it helps the ecosystem
Polkadot is powerful but sometimes hard to use. DotBot makes it accessible to everyone, not just the power users. It’s a new way to interact with the network, new users don’t need to learn about blockchain and what’s the exact process of sending crypto to a friend. They just ask and DotBot help to do this.
