🚨 DOT supply → capped at 2.1 Billion 🚨
The Polkadot DAO has signaled support for a hard cap, by passing Referendum 1710 on the “Wish For Change” track, with 81% in favor.
Today ⤵️
→ 1.6 Billion DOT exist
→ 120M DOT/year minted each year
→ No supply cap
What Ref. 1710 outlines ⤵️
→ A 2.1B cap on total supply
→ New DOT issuance steps down every 2 years on Pi Day (March 14)
That means lower emissions, and scarcity ⤵️
→ By 2040, supply would be ~1.91 Billion under Ref 1710's model vs ~3.4 Billion under the current 120M/year model.
Scarcity, predictability, long-term alignment.
Do you think a hard cap makes DOT stronger? 👇
