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).
