  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.

  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.
