The Aptos Foundation announced a structural transition in its economic model to align the Aptos token supply with the actual utilization of its infrastructure. The official report indicates that the goal is to move away from “bootstrap-era” subsidies to implement mechanisms where asset burning, driven by institutional transactions and the new Decibel exchange, can outpace emissions.
This reform introduces significant changes, including a proposal to reduce the staking reward rate from 5.19% to 2.6%, alongside a 10-fold increase in gas fees to accelerate deflation. Additionally, a hard supply cap of 2.1 billion APT will be established, and the Foundation will permanently lock 210 million tokens to ensure long-term scarcity and stability.
The approval of these governance proposals and the impact of Decibel—which is projected to burn 32 million APT annually—will be key points of interest in the coming days. The success of this model will depend on the network’s organic activity successfully crossing the break-even point, where the asset becomes net-deflationary starting in 2027.
