Aptos Unveils Tokenomics Overhaul: 210M APT to Be Permanently Locked, Staking Rewards to Be Halved

Techub News 消息，Aptos Foundation unveiled plans to revise APT tokenomics, proposing to cut annual staking rewards from 5.19% to 2.6%, increase gas fees tenfold, and cap total supply at 2.1 billion APT. The Foundation also committed to permanently locking and staking 210 million APT, nearly 18% of current supply, with operations funded by staking rewards rather than token sales. Future ecosystem grants will be tied to performance milestones, while a buyback program funded by cash reserves and future revenue is under consideration. Annualized token unlocks are expected to fall 60% as the initial four-year unlock cycle ends in October 2026. The changes aim to reduce emissions and increase token burns, potentially making APT deflationary.（@WuBlockchain）
