Aptos Foundation Proposes Changes to Staking Rewards and Gas Fees

The Aptos Foundation has announced a proposed update to its tokenomics, aiming to adjust staking rewards and gas fees. According to NS3.AI, the foundation suggests reducing the annual percentage rate (APR) for staking rewards from 5.19% to 2.6% through a governance process. Additionally, it plans to increase gas fees by tenfold, with these fees to be paid in APT tokens, which will be completely burned. Furthermore, the foundation intends to implement a protocol-level hard cap of 2.1 billion APT tokens.
