Polkadot Runtime Upgrade 2.5 has been proposed to the DOT DAO for all System Chains

With big AI companies taking over the world we as the people can push back by creating a decentralized AI system with validators that compute workloads on the network instead of useless hashes. This would also solve the problem of big data centers taking over communities because each house could be a mini datacenter either mining rewards for incentive. Instead of Sam Altman getting paid you do. We can also put a governance model (DAO)behind the system where validators can vote on upgrades or where we want to take the technology. Pieces of it already exist separately. There are already decentralized marketplace where independent providers supply CPUs/GPUs instead of everything running in AWS/Google/Microsoft. Suppose the decentralized AI has reached:
**Model 7.0**
Developers propose training:
**Model 8.0**
Maybe Model 8 requires:
$200 million worth of compute
dramatically better autonomous coding
new biological capabilities
3× larger training dataset
Instead of Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Google executives, Anthropic executives, or a handful of venture capitalists making that decision, a proposal goes onto the network.

Well I have been in the market since 2013, my masters was in crypto, what do you want to know? How epic the eth ico was? What the market looked like when eth was open to trade in q4 2015 and was 80 cents? The DAO hack? The ICO mania of 2017? The first mainstream bullrun of 2017 when btc was cca 20k? Not to mention COVID, defi craze...

OG days were 2016 and The DAO. What a time to be alive.

Used to handle payouts for a small DAO and ran into same thing. The quoted number means almost nothing once you leave the main chain, slippage eats you alive and nobody tells you beforehand.

Bridge fees are tricky cause they change depending on liquidity on the destination side, and most processors bury that in the fine print. I started checking every single transaction after losing like 500 bucks on a batch similar to yours.

What worked for me was splitting payments into smaller chunks and timing them when gas is lower, usually late night EST. Not perfect but saved maybe 15-20% on total costs. Still annoying you have to babysit it like this in 2026.
