PANews, December 29 – According to Odaily, with the approval of WFC #1710 (Hard Pressure) proposal, Polkadot's economic model now has, for the first time, a clear, predictable, and immutable long-term path. The core of this path includes three points: a total supply cap of 2.1 billion DOT; annual issuance reduction every two years; and each reduction is 13.14% of the remaining issuance. Under the Hard Pressure model, starting from March 14, 2026, Polkadot's annual issuance will officially begin to decrease. The first issuance reduction will occur on March 14, 2026, corresponding to an annual inflation rate of approximately 3.11%.
