Polkadot has proposed to shorten the DOT unlocking period, allowing the unlocking to be completed in as little as 2 days.
PANews reported on August 14 that according to Polkaworld, the Polkadot network has passed the RFC97 proposal, which aims to significantly shorten the unlocking period for DOT tokens. After review and discussion, the proposal was approved by the Fellowship, and its code or design has been merged into the main codebase.
The new mechanism will change the original fixed 28-day unlocking period to a flexible 2-28 days, with the specific duration dynamically adjusted based on the size of the unlocking request queue. When the queue is relatively idle, the unlocking can be completed within 2 days; while when the unlocking requests (measured by the amount of staked tokens) exceed a certain threshold, the unlocking period will be extended to 28 days. The proposal suggests implementing and testing this model first on the Kusama network to evaluate its effectiveness and stability, and then considering integration into the Polkadot mainnet.
