Polkadot passed two staking governance proposals, and DOT rose by about 12% in the past week, but on-chain activity remains weak.

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.

Eurozone industrial production fell 0.1% month-on-month in July: Total volume nearly stagnant, while durable goods show a clear weakening

Eurostat released its first estimate on September 16: In July 2026, quarter-on-quarter industrial production in the eurozone declined by 0.1%, and in the EU by 0.3%. Both regions saw a decrease of 0.1% in June. Compared to a year ago, industrial production in the eurozone remained unchanged, while in the EU it grew by 0.3%. The overall change is minimal, appearing almost like a flat line, but there are clear differences among industries: production of energy, capital goods, and intermediate goods increased quarter-on-quarter, whereas the production of durable consumer goods saw a significant decline. European industry has not experienced a widespread downturn, nor has there been a strong expansion.

UK inflation rose to 3.1% in August: Oil prices drive up overall inflation, while core indicators have not accelerated accordingly for now

The Office for National Statistics of the UK announced on September 16 that in August 2026, the Consumer Price Index CPI rose by 3.1% year-on-year, higher than 2.9% in July; the index including the cost of own housing CPIH rose by 3.3% year-on-year, also higher than the previous month's 3.1%. Both indices increased by 0.5% month-on-month, compared to a month-on-month increase of 0.3% in August 2025. The main factor driving annual inflation upwards was transportation, particularly car fuel costs. At the same time, the core CPI remained at 2.6% year-on-year, and the core CPIH also stayed at 2.9%; there was no acceleration in the rise in service prices either. The overall index has rebounded significantly, but the pressure is mainly concentrated on goods and energy.

Google Survey: Scientists Save Nearly 7 Hours per Week Due to AI; After Efficiency Increases, Experiments Become a New Bottleneck

On September 15th, Google updated AI and Economy ATLAS, and announced a study in collaboration with Google DeepMind and MIT FutureTech. The study analyzed 2,600 professional AI models and surveyed over 600 scientists from the United States and the United Kingdom. The results showed that nearly half of the surveyed scientists used some form of AI daily, and they reported saving nearly 7 hours per week as a result. However, the study also found that with the rapid generation of more hypotheses, there was a backlog in physical experiments, clinical validation, and result verification. This conclusion is more comprehensive than the claim that "AI speeds up scientific research": while models can streamline some mental processes, they cannot automate...

OpenAI Testing "Sponsored Agents": Ads No Longer Just Wait for Clicks, but Require Answers in Conversations

On September 16th, OpenAI announced a new round of product updates for ChatGPT Ads, among which Sponsored Agents has drawn the most attention. After seeing the ads, users can proactively enter an agent dialogue sponsored by merchants and clearly labeled with relevant information. There, they can continue to ask questions about size, features, applicable scenarios, etc., before deciding whether to visit the merchants' websites. OpenAI also introduced an ad management plugin, suggestions for copywriting and images, as well as text adaptation features. Additionally, HubSpot and Shopify were integrated into the system. It is important to note that the sponsored agent feature is currently only being tested with some advertisers in the United States and has not yet been fully rolled out to users worldwide or all merchants.
