Polkadot (DOT) Holds Steady Amid 2.9% Weekly Increase as New Governance Model Approaches
Comprehensive Brief:
Over the last 12 hours, Polkadot (DOT) has remained relatively stable, trading at $4.54 , with a 2.9% increase over the past week despite a 4.8% dip in the last 24 hours​( CoinGecko )​( CoinMarketCap ). Polkadot is preparing for significant upcoming changes, including a new governance model that could reshape its decentralized framework and further enhance network security. Key Developments:
Governance 2.0 on the Horizon : Polkadot is preparing for a major governance overhaul called Governorship Version 2 (Gov2) . This model introduces a fully decentralized voting system, removing the old Polkadot Council and Technical Committee in favor of a more inclusive process. Gov2 will allow the community to have a larger role in decision-making, making Polkadot's network more democratic and resilient​( CoinMarketCap ).
Parachain Auctions & Staking : Polkadot’s parachain auctions, a key component of the network, continue to lock up significant amounts of DOT , helping reduce the circulating supply and potentially supporting long-term price stability. Additionally, staking rewards offer DOT holders an incentive to participate in securing the network, further bolstering its decentralized structure​( Cryptonews ).
