Here's a simple summary of the proposed changes to Polkadot:

*   **Stop Burning DOT:** The network will stop destroying DOT tokens from fees and other activities.
*   **Save DOT in a New Pool:** Instead of being burned, that DOT will be saved in a new account called the DAP.
*   **Slash Money Goes to the Pool:** DOT taken from misbehaving validators (slashes) will also go to the DAP pool.
*   **Validators Need More Skin in the Game:** Validators must lock up at least 10,000 DOT of their own and charge at least a 10% fee.
*   **Protect Nominators:** Regular stakers (nominators) will not lose their DOT if a validator they back misbehaves.
*   **Faster Unbonding:** Nominators can get their staked DOT back much faster, within 1-2 days.
*   **Goal:** These are the first steps to build a new system for managing DOT and prepare for future upgrades.
