According to @alice_und_bob, Polkadot governance proposal 1709 is too weak to generate meaningful economic impact for the DOT ecosystem (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025). They state proposal 1710 effectively reduces inflation but does not create demand-side incentives for DOT, limiting its growth impact (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025). The author argues tokenomics policy should prioritize demand drivers to expand the DOT economy rather than focusing solely on inflation suppression (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025). For traders, the governance outcome between 1709 and 1710 is a near-term catalyst for DOT by directly targeting supply via inflation and highlighting the need for demand mechanisms, making monitoring the vote and implementation details critical to assessing supply-demand balance (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025).

According to @alice_und_bob, proposal 1709 Soft Pressure and proposal 1710 Hard Pressure were submitted by @GldnCalf, targeting a DOT hard cap and scheduled inflation reductions. source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025. Soft Pressure proposes a 3.14b DOT hard cap with a 13.14% inflation reduction every two years, while Hard Pressure proposes a 2.1b DOT hard cap with a 50% inflation reduction every two years. source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025. For traders, if enacted, these frameworks would mechanically lower future token issuance versus current levels, making the outcome of proposals 1709 and 1710 a key catalyst to monitor. source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025.

According to @alice_und_bob, three Polkadot OpenGov signal-vote proposals titled Soft Pressure, Hard Pressure, and Growth Pressure target a DOT supply cap and an inflation reduction (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025). The author states they submitted a competing Growth Pressure proposal to the first two approaches (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025). Traders should monitor the ongoing signal vote given the potential for changes to DOT’s issuance policy if governance advances these proposals (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025).

According to @alice_und_bob, Proposal 1711 'Growth Pressure' is an alternative plan that introduces a 2.1 billion DOT hard cap, reduces inflation by 33% every two years, and cuts staking APR by 50% every two years, with an added incentive pool to grow the economy, source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025. These changes target token supply ceilings, issuance pace, and staking yield paths that define DOT’s tokenomics mechanics, source: @alice_und_bob on X, Aug 15, 2025.

According to @alice_und_bob, Celestia Governance is currently debating a proposal to lower the network's inflation rate to 2.5% while increasing validator commission. The discussion also highlights that reducing inflation could lower the opportunity cost for DeFi participation on Celestia, potentially stimulating increased activity and adoption of DeFi protocols. The proposed changes are seen as a move to optimize network incentives and attract more liquidity to the ecosystem, with potential effects on TIA token dynamics and broader crypto market sentiment (source: @alice_und_bob).

According to @KobeissiLetter, oil prices have declined over 10% since Inauguration Day, potentially reducing inflation by approximately 20 basis points. This trend indicates a significant impact on energy markets, signaling a possible decrease in gas prices and a shift in trading strategies.
