Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) said its proposed strategy passed an on-chain governance referendum on November 11, 2026, with 97% support. The vote marks a planned shift in emphasis from infrastructure development toward products for everyday users; it does not mean those products have launched.
The plan includes a mobile app for private communication and digital cash payments. It also centers on a proposed dotStables stablecoin series. Its first coin, dotUSD, is intended to be pegged to the US dollar and backed by DOT, with the aim of generating demand for DOT through actual use.
PCF said Polkadot will use user numbers and product usage as its main measures of progress, while directing more marketing funds toward incentives with measurable user participation. The referendum result shows support for the strategy, not evidence that the planned products have gained users.
