The Polkadot upgrade issuance model sets the maximum supply of DOT at 2.1 billion

Polkadot announced on platform X that its token issuance model upgrade has officially taken effect. This protocol update will introduce several key adjustments, including setting the maximum supply of the native token DOT to 2.1 billion tokens, with approximately 80% of the tokens already issued. At the same time, the issuance rate of DOT will be reduced by about 53% in one go, with plans to continue gradually lowering it in the future.

It is reported that the above adjustments were proposed by the community and approved through the OpenGov governance mechanism, aiming to maintain the network's incentive mechanism while limiting the long-term issuance scale and providing the market with a more transparent and predictable token issuance path.
