### Summary of Post Content

- The post discusses the need to manage inflation in the Dot ecosystem, particularly after the initial marketing and corporate reorganization phases.
- A fixed supply of Dot is not considered a solution due to the dynamic nature of demand for block space rental.
- Regular discussions and temporary limitations are suggested to regulate inflation and achieve a more sustainable equilibrium.
- The treasury's role is mentioned, with a proposal to allocate 1-3% of Dot for financing proposals, subject to feasibility and control.
- Inflation targets are suggested, such as 7% for staking and 1-3% for the treasury, totaling 10%.
- The author proposes a personal idea of using Dot as a stable backing asset or security collateral for IBTC, potentially enhancing Polkadot's institutional appeal.
- A dual Dao system is imagined, with one part for institutional decisions and another for individual decisions, aiming for lower long-term inflation.
- The concept of a central bank-like monetary system is introduced, where Dot serves as the resource currency, potentially integrating with BTC and other DEFI products.

### Summary

- **Interlay's Role**: Interlay operates as the main Bitcoin bridge and DeFi hub in the Polkadot ecosystem, handling significant BTC volume and providing iBTC to the ecosystem.
- **iBTC Demand**: High demand for iBTC from hodlers, DEXs, and money markets has led to a shortage of spare capacity to mint more iBTC.
- **Proposed Solutions**: Interlay plans to add new lending markets, vault collaterals, and research improvements to the vault model to increase iBTC capacity.
- **Treasury Proposal**: The Interlay community proposes that the Polkadot Treasury support incentivizing 40 iBTC capacity.
- **Options for Treasury Support**:
  1. **DOT Grant**: The Treasury could grant DOT to pay out as vault rewards, boosting vault rewards and attracting more vault operators.
  2. **VDOT Staking**: The Treasury could loan DOT, convert it to VDOT, and use staking rewards to perpetually increase vault rewards.
  3. **DOT Collateral Loan**: The Treasury could loan DOT to trusted vault operators to create iBTC minting capacity, with a conservative collateralization ratio.
- **Community Feedback**: The Interlay community invites feedback on the proposed options and alternative strategies.

### Summary

- Bifrost leased slots 16-23 for paraid 3356 but currently holds lease 15 for para 2030.
- There will be a gap in block production for para 2030 during the lease swap.
- The suggested solution is to use the Lease Admin Track to clear lease 16-23 for para 3356 and add it to para 2030.
- This process involves clearing leases, re-reserving DOTs, and ensuring continuous lease renewal for Bifrost.
- The governance track has a 3-hour confirm period and requires a 5000 DOT deposit.
- The action aims to prevent service suspension for users and aligns with community interests.
- Potential risks include uncertainty about crowdloan unlocking, but it is expected to function normally.
