On October 8, dotUSD went live on the Polkadot mainnet. The first version is minted 1:1 with USDT and does not yet have DOT collateral, an oracle, or a liquidation system; the DOT-collateralized version currently has no launch date. On October 13, the Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) submitted a governance authorization proposal to shift growth spending from external marketing agencies to on-chain logic and user incentives, and to make dotUSD the DAO’s preferred stablecoin. The proposal also requires incentives to reach verified individuals and sets algorithmic per-person caps; current reports describe the proposal’s contents and do not state the governance outcome.
