Polkadot Upgrades Token Issuance Model, with DOT Maximum Supply Set at 2.1 Billion Coins

On March 14th, Polkadot announced on the X platform that the upgrade of its token issuance model has officially come into effect. The maximum supply of DOT is set at 2.1 billion tokens, and currently about 80% have been issued. The issuance rate of DOT was reduced by approximately 53% on March 14th and will gradually decrease in the future. The adjustment is proposed by the community and approved through the OpenGov governance mechanism, aiming to maintain the network incentive mechanism and limit the long-term issuance scale.
