Polkadot has implemented Referendum 1710, establishing a hard cap of 2.1 billion DOT tokens, with 1.708 billion already issued as of October 17, 2026. This cap ends Polkadot's previous open issuance model, reducing annual new DOT issuance from about 120 million to a declining stepped schedule starting at 13.14% of the remaining supply to be issued. This change lowers the inflation rate from 3.0% and will gradually reduce staking rewards over time. While the cap provides predictable dilution and supply control, it has not yet boosted DOT's price, which remains volatile and significantly below its all-time high. Investors should note that staking yields will likely decrease, and tax reporting for staking rewards remains complex.
