The capital policy in Polkadot has undergone significant changes following the DAO's approval of a 2.1 billion DOT cap. This decision affects both the current state of the token's economy and the future of the ecosystem.
Establishment of DOT Supply Cap
Referendum #1710 in Polkadot DAO was approved with 81% of votes, setting a total supply cap of 2.1 billion DOT. This ends the current uncapped emission process, which had been 120 million new DOT per year. Under the new proposal, future issuance will follow a gradually decreasing schedule every two years, significantly slowing supply growth and increasing scarcity expectations.
Impact on Polkadot Ecosystem
The approved proposal demonstrates the evolution of Polkadot’s governance, as the community increasingly focuses on inflation control and sustainability. In the short term, this decision could boost market sentiment, but it is crucial to monitor its impact on staking incentives and ecosystem growth.
Pump.fun's Leading Role in Solana Market
According to Jupiter data as of September 15, Pump.fun dominates the Solana token launch market with a 90.4% share, far ahead of competitors such as Letsbonk (5.45%) and Believe (1.6%). Pump.fun's success reflects both its technical advantages and user trust. If Pump.fun continues to enhance user experience and roll out new features, it could further consolidate its leadership in the Web3 ecosystem.
The establishment of the DOT cap and the dominance of Pump.fun in the token market highlight significant changes in management and development approaches within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. These events may have long-term implications for both token holders and users.
