Aptos Foundation announces adjustments to its tokenomics model, proposing to reduce the annual staking reward rate for APT from 5.19% to 2.6% through a governance proposal, increase Gas fees by 10x, and set a total supply cap of 2.1 billion APT. The foundation commits to permanently locking and staking 210 million APT, approximately 18% of the current supply, and will no longer sell or distribute this portion of tokens, using staking rewards solely to support operations. The foundation also plans to tie future ecosystem funding to performance metrics and explore using cash and future revenue to buy back APT. With the initial token unlock cycle ending in October 2026, the annual unlock volume is expected to decrease by 60%. The foundation aims to gradually shift APT toward deflation by reducing new supply, increasing transaction fee burns, and potential buybacks. https://(wublock123.com)/news/aptos-foundation-cut-apt-staking-reward-2-6pct-2-1b-lock-69747
