Following DOT’s rally final week, pushed by the announcement of Polkadot’s highly-anticipated parachain auctions, Gavin Wooden teased $774 million able to be spent on progressive concepts.
Polkadot, created by Wooden, at present has 18,936,300 DOT in its treasury, which might, in keeping with the founder, as an alternative of being slowly burned by the protocol, fund something that the community’s governance believes useful.
Constructing, bettering, educating, and past
“The Polkadot treasury at present has 18,936,300 DOT (DOT, not USD – do the maths) in it able to spend on *your* concepts for constructing, bettering, educating and certainly, the rest that the Polkadot governance believes useful,” Wooden wrote on Twitter, inviting DOT holders to place ahead their strategies for furthering the community’s progress.

The community’s proposed on-chain governance system takes into consideration token holders, validators, a Council, and a Technical Committee.
“The DOT within the treasury comes as a pure a part of the community protocol. Charges, slashes and suboptimal staking configurations are all contributing elements,” the creator of Polkadot and Kusama continued to elucidate the place the funds are coming from.
“If it goes unused, it slowly will get burned. It at present burns 239,988 DOT each month,” he added.
Prepared for parachain launch
The community’s first parachain slot auctions are proposed to start on November 11, because the heterogeneous multichain structure outlined within the Polkadot Whitepaper comes near unraveling.
DOT’s worth rose greater than 16% in the course of the previous 7-day interval, following the builders’ announcement that Polkadot is technically able to help its first parachains – various, specialised blockchains that can actualize the community’s groundbreaking multichain structure.
Parachains will mark the final stage of Polkadot’s multi-phase launch course of that commenced in Might final 12 months, with the rollout of the preliminary, proof-of-authority model of the Polkadot Relay Chain.
