Polkassembly - https://polkassembly.io

The place to discuss and vote on Kusama and Polkadot governance.

Polkassembly is a platform for anyone to discover and participate in Polkadot and Kusama governance. You can browse proposals made on chain, discuss with the community and vote directly from the website using a browser extension. Proposal authors are the only one able to edit the proposal post and description. You don't have to, but adding an email may help to recover your account, also you can get notifications for discussions of interest or when a new proposal appears on-chain.

Archive note

Polkassembly ran as the primary governance interface for Polkadot and Kusama from 2020 to 2026. The business is closed. The codebase stays public.

What you're looking at: Six years of production governance infrastructure — OpenGov integration, multi-track conviction delegation, treasury proposal workflows, Technical Fellowship tooling, identity verification, Proof of Personhood, Klara AI assistant, and PolkaSafe multisig. Built across ~15,000 commits by 60+ contributors, serving 250,000+ participants across 50+ Substrate-based networks.

If you're building governance tooling: The hard problems in this repo are already solved. Multi-network Substrate support, the OpenGov track system with parallel voting, conviction weighting, delegation dashboards, proposal lifecycle state machines, identity-linked discussion threads — these took years to get right. Fork liberally.

The parts most worth studying or reusing:

• OpenGov multi-track implementation and voting state
• Conviction-based delegation with per-track granularity
• Treasury proposal workflow and spend-period tracking
• Identity and on-chain profile linking
• Governance analytics pipeline

If you're researching: The governance record — every proposal, referendum, discussion, and vote from 2020 to 2026 — remains accessible at polkadot.polkassembly.io while the archive is live (through May 31, 2026).

Company history, product record, and impact metrics: polkassembly.io

Issues and PRs remain open. If you build something useful for governance from this — that's the point.
