Polkassembly has been at the forefront for initiating deliberation and discussions on topics critical to the Dotsama’s growth and sustenance.

What are Discussions?

At Polkassembly’s discussion page, we invite you to engage in meaningful and respectful dialogue on a variety of topics relevant to your network.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!

The primary goals of the discussion page are:

• Give the community an opportunity to share their views, before proposals enter into on-chain voting.
• Gauge the community’s sentiment and request opinions on a particular topic.
• Community members can seek clarifications around any of the topics mentioned in a respectful manner.
• Leverage detailed opinions to alter the referendum as per the community needs.

We encourage all proposers to engage in discussion with the community prior to moving forward with an on-chain referendum.

Let’s create a discussion!
