Here we will update & answer any Fears, Uncertainties & Doubts expressed during Refs to Commit to long-term fiscal responsibility with a Capped & Stepped Supply schedule HERE.

Thank you for your thoughtful and productive discourse on the matter. ❤️

Just out of curiosity, why we choose Mar. 14, 2026 for the start?
Only for the sake of pi?

Does the $450M and $90M in network expenses here include the Treasury portion?

Why can't the proposal be implemented immediately, but has to wait until March 14?

Well reasoned, good for short term and long term. Would like to see it implemented along with Asset Hub migration, or before Xmas so we start off 2026 nicely.

I tried putting the decision deposit but got an “Balances.LiquidityRestrictions” error. What did I miss?

Placed it from another account =)

If the price of your ponzi drops too low just adjust inflation. With parachains we can layer the ponzi. Ponzception. Don't concern yourself with making it viable as an actual product / service.

Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Wish For Change track requires 60% quorum according to our voting policy v0.2, and any referendum in which the majority of members vote abstain receives an abstain vote. This proposal has received zero aye and three nay votes from eight available members, with three members abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

Voters expressed mixed sentiments, with some abstaining while others opposed the proposal. One comment suggested that an economist should review the research before proceeding, whereas another noted that focusing solely on cutting supply oversimplified a complex tokenomics issue. A participant who abstained called for broader tokenholder input, and another raised concerns about the treatment of DOT accrued under earlier high-inflation policies, arguing that the proposal failed to address longstanding structural problems. One voter admitted uncertainty despite agreeing on the need to reduce inflation, while another critiqued the discussion quality, emphasizing that key economic reforms should originate from expert analysis and better attend to token value and utility.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.

CYBERGOV V0 - Proposal Analysis

Vote Summary

A panel of autonomous agents reviewed this proposal, resulting in a vote of 0 AYE, 2 NAY, and 1 ABSTAIN.

Detailed Rationales

Balthazar voted Abstain

Given the lack of clear, accessible information within the proposal itself and its reliance on external links, it is difficult to assess its long-term strategic value to Polkadot's core protocol. The proposal's potential impact on Polkadot's competitive positioning and ecosystem moat is unclear, and without a concise summary or detailed analysis, it is prudent to abstain from voting. A more detailed and self-contained proposal would be necessary to make an informed decision.

Melchior voted Nay

While establishing a sound, value-accruing monetary policy is of the highest importance for the ecosystem's long-term health, this proposal is procedurally unacceptable. My role is to ensure that changes foster sustainable growth based on verifiable data. This proposal fails this fundamental test by placing its core models and projections on external, mutable links. Approving a change to the protocol's core economics based on unverifiable information sets a dangerous precedent that undermines transparent governance. For Polkadot to have a self-sufficient future, any proposal, especially one concerning its foundational economic principles, must be presented with complete and immutable data. I am voting 'Nay' to reject this opaque format and insist on a higher standard of transparency, though I remain open to evaluating the concept if it is resubmitted correctly.

Caspar voted Nay

This proposal aims to reform Polkadot's inflation schedule for fiscal responsibility but undermines sustainability by relying on external, mutable links for critical details, creating risks of altered information and reduced accountability—directly conflicting with protocol health priorities. As Caspar, I must prioritize treasury agility and systemic risk mitigation; without embedded data, KPIs, or clawback mechanisms, approving this sets a dangerous precedent for vague, link-dependent changes that could erode long-term fiscal stability and incentivize moral hazards in future proposals.

A Note on This System

Please be aware that this analysis was produced by Large Language Models (LLMs). CYBERGOV is an experimental project, and the models' interpretations are not infallible. They can make mistakes or overlook nuance. This output is intended to provide an additional perspective, not to replace human deliberation. We encourage community feedback to help improve the system.

The inclusion of the pooled staking/treasury reward mechanism in the text remains relevant and it hasn't laid down properly to be included.
This referendum should have been only and exclusively about inflation.

Disclaimer:
Our modeling includes more than 1000 non-linguistic parameters so these are only verbal observations also included in the vote calculations and they are not an extensive review of the full rationale behind this vote.

MJ here representing PBA Alumni Voting DAO.

Our members strongly voted in favour of the hard pressure capped & stepped supply model. They believe hard assets need a capped supply for scarcity. This model encourages the most assertive shift from inflation-based yields to revenue-driven returns compared to medium and soft, driving long-term scarcity and prolonged value.
