ChainCatcher message, the Polkadot network aims to significantly shorten the unlocking period of DO T tokens through the RFC 97 proposal. This proposal has been approved by the Fellowship after review and discussion, and its code or design has been merged into the main codebase.The new mechanism will change the originally fixed 28-day unlocking period to a flexible 2-28 days, with the specific duration dynamically adjusted based on the size of the unlocking request queue. When the queue is relatively idle, unlocking can be completed in as fast as 2 days; however, when the unlocking requests (measured by the amount staked) exceed a certain threshold, the unlocking period will be extended to 28 days. The proposal suggests implementing and testing this model on the Kusama network first to assess its effectiveness and stability before considering integration into the Polkadot mainnet.

ChainCatcher news, Immutable co-founder Robbie Ferguson announced that 125 million IMX tokens allocated for the development of the Immutable project will be re-locked for another year, which were originally scheduled to be unlocked in the coming weeks. This re-locking of the allocation will last at least until July 2024.Ferguson also stated that the final unlocking mechanism will be updated to make it smoother. "At least, when we finally decide to unlock these tokens, they will be released according to a monthly linear vesting schedule over time, rather than a cliff unlock."
