The Polkadot community is voting on a new money plan called "Capped & Stepped Supply."
- It would limit the total number of DOT coins to 2.1 billion.
- Every two years, 19% of the remaining coins would be made, starting in 2026.
- This plan would make less new money than the current system.
- It aims to help Polkadot be more careful with spending and find new ways to earn money.
- If no extra money is earned, staking rewards would drop over time.
- The community can vote for this plan or choose to keep things the same.
- Other money rules, like fees and treasury spending, can still be changed later.
