Aptos Foundation to halve APT staking rewards, cap total supply at 2.1 billion

Aptos Foundation proposed cutting the annual APT staking reward rate to 2.6 percent from 5.19 percent, while raising gas fees by a factor of 10 and setting a total supply cap of 2.1 billion APT. It said it stakes 210 million APT, about 18 percent of current supply, permanently locked and not for sale or distribution, funding operations only from staking rewards. It also plans performance-linked ecosystem grants and may buy APT with cash and future revenue.
