Polkadot recently passed two staking governance proposals, bringing market attention back to DOT. From July 1st to July 6th, DOT rose by approximately 12%, reaching a price of $0.89, a recovery from its previous low of nearly $0.80.

Both proposals have been passed.

The two proposals, Referenda 1909 and 1910, were first submitted on June 23 and approved on July 6. The adjustments primarily focused on validator security requirements and staking efficiency.

Version 1909, building upon the previously approved requirement that "validators must self-stake at least 10,000 DOT," further adds self-staking rewards, 0% commission, and a permissionless chilling mechanism for validators with insufficient staking. Version 1910 eliminates nominator staking penalties and shortens the nominator unbinding period from approximately 28 days to approximately 48 hours.

Significantly improved pledging flexibility

From a mechanism perspective, the new proposal, on the one hand, continues to increase the constraint of validators' own funds, and on the other hand, reduces the time cost for nominators to participate in staking. In particular, with the unbinding period significantly shortened, liquidity will be significantly improved.

Such adjustments typically help increase staking participation and may also improve how the network constrains validator behavior. For Polkadot, this means its staking system is shifting towards greater efficiency.

Price recovery and divergence in on-chain activity

However, the price rebound has not been reflected in on-chain activity. Latest data shows that the number of active independent accounts on Polkadot remains very low, with only 5 active accounts on July 4th and dropping to 1 on July 5th.

This means that the current rise in DOT is more of a short-term market reaction to governance upgrades, with no corresponding improvement in actual network usage. Only if on-chain activity, staking participation, and capital inflows continue to recover will the market be able to more easily determine whether this rebound is sustainable.

Solana Mainnet enables 4096-byte transactions: More space, but also brings upgrade pressure on indexers
Solana will enable v1 transaction-related functions on the mainnet Epoch on September 15th at 01:20 UTC. The maximum size of a single transaction will be increased from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes, which is approximately 3.3 times the original size. The official upgrade page indicates that the activation is expected to occur at this time, and the mainnet status will be marked as activated. The new format provides more space for zero-knowledge proofs, large multi-signatures, batch processing, and some on-chain signature schemes, reducing the need for developers to split a single operation into multiple transactions. The existing legacy and v0 transactions will continue to function, so this is not a hard fork that requires all wallets and applications to switch immediately.

Final Launches Shannon Development Network: An "Adaptive Blockchain" Begins with Restricted Testing
The new public chain Final announced on September 15th that its first major version, Shannon, is already running on the development network. The project positions itself as an “adaptive blockchain network” and showcases a structure composed of a main chain and a transaction chain, with plans to provide core facilities such as derivatives, spot trading, and stablecoins at the protocol layer. What needs to be clarified at this point is that what has been launched is Devnet, not the mature mainnet intended for everyone. The official website states that Shannon will be open to the public “in the near future,” and the current page still provides an application access link; functions such as wallets, bridges, and documentation are also marked as upcoming.

Canadian wholesale sales rose slightly by 0.3% in July: Building materials saw strength, but actual sales decreased by 0.6%
On September 15, Statistics Canada announced that in July 2026, wholesale sales increased by 0.3% month-on-month at current prices, reaching C$91.4 billion. This figure does not include oil, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons, nor does it include oilseeds and grains. On the surface, there was little change in sales amounts, with growth even observed in the building materials and food sectors; however, when calculated at constant prices, total sales volume decreased by 0.6%. The increase in nominal amounts while the actual quantity decreased indicates that price factors supported the data for that month, and it also serves as a reminder to the market that one positive growth figure alone should not be used to conclude that demand has strengthened.
