Executed

Hard Pressure Capped & Stepped Supply Schedule

- A new plan for Polkadot's money supply is proposed.
- It would cap the total number of DOT tokens at about 3.14 billion.
- Every 2 years, the amount of new DOT created would drop by 13.14%.
- The cap would be reached around the year 2060.
- This is called the "Soft Pressure" schedule.
- Two other plans, "Hard" and "Medium," are also being considered.
- The goal is to make Polkadot more responsible with money over time.
- People can vote yes or no on these plans.

- They shared a public list of their work so people can see what they did.
