CoinVoice recently learned that on October 9, according to PolkaWorld, on October 23, about 100 million DOTs locked in Polkadot's first Crowdloan will be unlocked. In order to cope with this unlocking, and also to better adapt to the future of Polkadot 2.0, the community launched the 166th governance referendum, proposing to slightly increase the ideal staking rate of the Polkadot network, from 52.5% to 60%, so that the network can accommodate the newly unlocked DOTs entering the staking system without reducing the staking rewards.
This proposal has now entered the public voting stage, and the current approval rate is 99.4%. If the vote passes smoothly, it is expected that this adjustment will be implemented two days before the unlocking date. [Original link]
