Mars Finance reports that Polkadot (DOT) announced on X that its token issuance model upgrade has officially taken effect. The protocol update introduces several key adjustments, including setting the maximum supply of the native token DOT to 2.1 billion. Currently, about 80% of the tokens have been issued. Additionally, the issuance rate of DOT will be reduced by approximately 53% at once, with plans to continue gradually decreasing in the future. The adjustments were proposed by the community and approved through the OpenGov governance mechanism. The goal is to maintain network incentives while limiting long-term issuance and providing a more transparent and predictable token issuance path for the market.
