DOT DAO Votes to Burn Revenue from JAMKB Sales
Polkadot's DOT DAO has made a significant decision regarding revenue from JAMKB sales. In Referendum 1926, which passed on the Wish for Change track, the DAO voted to burn all revenue collected from future JAMKB sales instead of sending it to the network treasury.
The referendum confirms that coins collected from any sale, lease, or rental of JAMKB will be earmarked for a JAMKB, not treasury growth. Additionally, the resource will not be distributed through grants or below market loans.
Web3 Foundation contributor Bill Laboon described the resource as an allocation tool rather than a stand-in for the native asset itself.
The decision to burn revenue could have implications for Polkadot's tokenomics, particularly in light of the March 2026 supply cap. The scale of the eventual burn will depend on builder demand once the network launches.
