Aptos announced an update to the APT tokenomics, shifting to a performance-driven token supply mechanism that ties APT issuance to actual network usage. This update comprises the following seven key elements: 1. Significant reduction in staking rewards: The annualized reward rate will decrease from the current ~5.19% to 2.6%, while exploring new frameworks to incentivize long-term stakers. 2. Gas fees increased tenfold: Fees remain extremely low (e.g., stablecoin transfers cost ~$0.00014), aiming to discourage inefficient usage and support deflation. 3. Introduction of a novel deflationary mechanism: High-frequency trading on on-chain DEXs (e.g., Decibel) will drive large-scale APT burns. 4. Hard supply cap: A fixed maximum supply of 2.1 billion APT tokens, with no further minting beyond this cap (current circulating supply: ~1.196 billion; remaining supply: ~904 million, ~43% of total). 5. Permanent foundation lockup: 210 million APT tokens permanently staked and locked by the foundation—never to be sold or distributed. 6. Performance-based grants and rewards: Future foundation grants and rewards will be disbursed only upon achieving key milestones toward becoming a “global transaction engine.” 7. Initiation of programmable buybacks: The foundation commits to exploring a market buyback program for APT, purchasing tokens opportunistically and potentially burning or reserving them.
