The Aptos community voted to approve the proposal for the APT token supply, setting the total supply cap at 2.1 billion tokens

On March 1, the Aptos community passed the tokenomics reform proposal with an overwhelming majority, setting the total supply cap of APT tokens at 2.1 billion, shifting from an unlimited supply to a deflationary model. The voting results showed 335.2 million APT in favor, with only 1,500 APT against, and a voter turnout of 39%, slightly above the required 35% threshold.

The proposal is currently awaiting execution. The reforms include cutting staking rewards, increasing gas fees, and using transaction fees for token buybacks, aiming to reduce inflation and enhance the value for long-term holders. The APT token has been under pressure recently, with a decline of over 85% year-to-date, dropping as low as $0.79 on February 23. However, driven by a recent recovery in the crypto market, APT has rebounded 17% in the past week.
