$DOT breakdown: Where does the money come from, where is it spent, and what gives it value?
【Issuance mechanism】Launched in 2020, with no hard cap and annual inflation of about 10% (used for staking rewards and the treasury); no token burns.
【Revenue / sources of value】A relay chain + parachains (heterogeneous multi-chain architecture); slot auctions rent out slots; cross-chain interoperability + shared security.
【Burn mechanism】No burn mechanism.
【The essence of the model】A PoS hub chain, promoted by the Web3 Foundation and framed as a “multi-chain operating system.”
In a nutshell: It sells the idea of a “multi-chain operating system.” The bullish case = a unified cross-chain standard; the bearish case = a quiet parachain ecosystem and a slot-auction model overshadowed by L2s.
