Techub News: The Polkadot network will implement an economic architecture adjustment starting March 12, 2026. The total supply cap of DOT will be set at 2.1 billion tokens, and a Dynamic Allocation Pool (DAP) will replace the original treasury burn mechanism. Transaction fees, Coretime sales revenue, and confiscated funds will be deposited into a permanent account for dynamic budget allocation. Every two years, 13.14% of the remaining supply will be issued, with the initial issuance phase reducing the current model by 53.6%. The staking mechanism will also be upgraded: starting in mid to late March, validators will need to hold at least 10,000 DOT, which can be confiscated if self-staked, with a minimum commission rate of 10%. From April, nominators will become non-confiscatable, and the unbonding period will be shortened from 28 days to 24–48 hours.
