From @gavofyork's talk, I believe he acknowledges that Coretime is a core product of Polkadot and is also key to the DOT economic model. He hopes that the price of Coretime will truly be determined by market supply and demand. Due to technical limitations, currently each Rollup can only use one core, resulting in equal supply and demand → price approaches 0.
But in the future, after elastic scaling is launched, you can:
⚙️ Rent 10 cores at once
⚡️ Make the chain run fast
💰 Spend more DOT to buy more performance
This is not only a technical upgrade but also a fundamental unlocking of the $DOT economic model. Fixed supply, released demand, the price will truly be determined by the market.
📈 DOT is transitioning from 'chain fees' to 'performance fees'.
