Allocations include $24.5M (3.8M DOT) for marketing, DeFi tooling, gaming, and business development, and $6.4M (1M DOT) for gaming airdrops. Polkadot also added 1.6M DOT (~$10M) to DeFi markets.
With the current spending rate, funds will last about two years. This has led to discussions on stricter budgeting and potential changes to inflation parameters.
