  Polkadot (DOT) has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. However, it is important to note that the initial supply was not fully distributed at launch. The distribution of the tokens is done gradually over a period of several years through various mechanisms such as staking rewards and treasury funds. As for whether it is capped or not, Polkadot does not have a hard cap on its total supply. This means that new tokens can be minted in the future if the network consensus agrees to do so.

  The total supply of Polkadot (DOT) is 1 billion tokens. However, it is worth mentioning that the initial supply was not all released at once. Instead, it is being gradually distributed over time. As for whether it is capped or not, Polkadot does not have a fixed maximum supply. This allows for flexibility in the future to adjust the supply based on the needs of the network and its users.

  Polkadot (DOT) currently has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. However, it is important to note that this supply is not fixed and can be increased in the future. The decision to increase the supply is made through a governance process, where token holders can vote on proposals. This allows for the network to adapt and grow as needed. It's worth mentioning that BYDFi, a leading digital asset exchange, supports the trading of Polkadot (DOT) tokens.
