Polkadot passes proposal to shorten DOT unlocking period, unlocking in as fast as 2 days

On August 14th, Polkadot network proposed RFC 97 with the aim of significantly shortening the unlocking period of DOT tokens. After review and discussion, the proposal was approved by the Fellowship, and its code or design has been merged into the main codebase.

The new mechanism will change the fixed 28-day unlocking period to a flexible 2-28 days, with the specific duration dynamically adjusted based on the size of the unlocking request queue. When the queue is relatively idle, the unlocking can be completed in as little as 2 days; however, when the unlocking request (measured by staking amount) exceeds a certain threshold, the unlocking period will be extended to 28 days. The proposal suggests implementing and testing this model on the Kusama network first to evaluate its effectiveness and stability before considering integration into the Polkadot mainnet.

Money Routers

Hello,Crypto’s killer application is already here in the form of stablecoins. In 2023, Visa did close to $15 trillion in transaction volume. Stablecoins did about $20.8 trillion in total transaction volume. Since 2019, $221 trillion in stablecoins have been exchanged between wallets.Over the past few years, the equivalent of global GDPs has been moving through our blockchains. Over time, this capital has accumulated in different networks. Users switch between protocols for better financial opportunities or lower transfer costs. With the arrival of chain abstraction, users may not even know they are using a bridge.

PvP

PvP, or “player vs. player,” is a phrase used often by shitcoin traders to describe this current market cycle. The sentiment it evokes is predatory, where winning comes at the expense of others. That is so TradFi. The express purpose of the crypto capital markets is to allow those who risk their precious capital to enjoy the fruits of being “early” into projects that hopefully will grow apace with Web3. But oh, how we have strayed from the enlightened path laid down for us by Lord Satoshi and then subsequently Archangel Vitalik with his very successful Ether initial coin offering (ICO).

USDJPY: The Most Important Chart in the World

Sometimes I get obsessed about certain topics to the point where I can’t stop reading about them and every adjacent topic required to understand that topic. The Japanese Yen has been the beneficiary of my passionate love for the past few months. Ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you how annoying I can be about it if you trigger me about it. Rather than re-explaining it all multiple times I thought why not just write an article to consolidate my knowledge into one blog post. This is that post.
