The Aptos Foundation has unveiled plans to revise the APT tokenomics model, proposing to reduce annualized staking rewards from 5.19% to 2.6%, increase gas fees tenfold, and cap the total supply at 2.1 billion APT. The Foundation also committed to permanently locking and staking 210 million APT, approximately 18% of the current supply, with operational funding derived from staking rewards rather than token sales. Future ecosystem grants will be tied to performance milestones, and a buyback program funded by cash reserves and future revenue is under consideration. With the initial four-year unlock cycle concluding in October 2026, annualized token unlocks are projected to decrease by 60%. These reforms aim to reduce token issuance and increase token burning, potentially making APT a deflationary token.
