This is truly a massive loss for the @Polkadot ecosystem! In fact, when Polkadot’s inflation model was changed to a fixed supply cap, I already anticipated that a major reshuffle would take place across the ecosystem. This impact would be particularly significant for the many
I’m open for new challenges! Personal update: my current contract with Web3 Foundation ends in Jan 2026. Working every day to develop the Polkadot ecosystem has been the best time in my professional life so far. From Feb 2026 I'm open for new roles & consulting on ecosystem

The current issue is that as the total supply of $DOT becomes a fixed cap the stable income of the treasury will decrease significantly. As mentioned in our previously released strategic report the treasury needs to allocate a large portion of funds to launch parachain incentive

In 2023, we released a strategic report which mentioned in detail that @Polkadot needed to issue stablecoins based on $DOT . This approach could solve the problem of treasury sell - offs. Now in 2025, we're glad that such a thing is being advanced. #Polkadot
I’ve shared a proposal for a Dynamic Allocation Pool (DAP): an issuance buffer that sits between @Polkadot’s token issuance and its funding destinations. It comes with a set of complementary protocol changes designed to align Polkadot’s economics for what’s ahead.

⭕️One of the reasons for choosing @Polkadot is that if one desires more diverse performance and greater development potential, it is essential to select an infrastructure with an innovative design in its underlying architecture. Compared to many projects that merely follow the
Why Builders Pick Polkadot: Part 5: @Hyperbridge Internet-scale interoperability has always been a hard problem. Most bridges today are either too slow, too fragile, or too dependent on trusted middlemen. That’s exactly why Hyperbridge turned to @Polkadot. As co-founder

An extended thought: To transform more hackathon projects into official ecosystem projects (since many hackathon projects fail to operate sustainably), it is necessary to provide winning projects with more resource support beyond monetary rewards. For instance, clearly stating

⭕️If the DOT economic model is changed to this hard pressure version, and the planned reduction in $DOT issuance is set for March 14, 2026, don't you think this timeline is not ideal? Personally, I believe the most suitable time for the issuance reduction is around the official
Since the first Treasury burn on June 20, 2020, @Polkadot has burned ~20M DOT over 80 months — about 1.25% of today’s supply. 5 days left before Ref #1692 (Hard Pressure) enters Confirmation. If passed, OpenGov will decide: → How much issuance goes to the Treasury → How much

Yes — since some folks DM’d us asking about Fast-Unstake, here’s a consolidated response: according to the latest from @paritytech, DOT’s Fast-Unstake feature is being retired! Introduced in 2022, Fast-Unstake let inactive nominators/validators (no activity in the past 28 days)
👋 @Polkadot is about to make unstaking way smoother 🎉 No more fixed 28 days — instead, a dynamic 2–28 day window: ✨ As fast as ~2 days when demand is low 🛑 Up to 28 days if everyone rushes out The code’s ready. Next stop → runtime upgrade! 🔥

Lollipop is a pivotal initiative. It enables seamless Solana dApp execution on Polkadot via sBPF interpreter (no bridges/limits), backed by @Web3foundation. Leveraging @Polkadot JAM & PolkaVM (RISC-V speed/safety), it merges both ecosystems’ strengths, delivering secure, fast,
Imagine @solana programs on PolkaVM Lollipop is bringing Solana dApps directly to Polkadot - no bridges, no limits with an sBPF interpreter for seamless execution Backed by @Web3foundation grant, it’s a major step toward runtime SVM on JAM + RISC-V https://t.co/rDj3hhzS55

⭕️Why doesn't this vote involve the method of "directly reducing the inflation rate on the original inflation, for example, reducing it to 4%"? #Polkadot @Polkadot $DOT Are we only able to choose between maintaining the status quo and setting a fixed upper limit? It is
