Polkadot Community Votes to Burn Future JAMKB Proceeds

Polkadot's community has voted in favor of burning future DOT sales proceeds from potential JAMKB sales, rather than sending them to the Treasury. Wish for Change #1926, which passed on August 26, 2026, expresses support for this approach and opposes distributing JAMKB through grants or below-market loans.

The decision directs any future DOT proceeds from JAMKB sales to burning, which could create a potentially deflationary supply path for DOT. However, the effect depends on two unresolved conditions: the implementation of JAMKB and the scale of any sales.
