Aptos blockchain reached a quarterly high with over 16 million transactions in a single day, reflecting the impact of its April 2026 governance overhaul. The upgrade increased gas fees tenfold but kept transaction costs low, introduced a hard supply cap of 2.1 billion APT, cut staking rewards, and mandated burning 100% of transaction fees. These changes, inspired by Ethereum's EIP-1559, link network demand to token supply reduction, with 235,200 APT burned in the past 30 days. While monthly staking emissions still exceed burns, sustained transaction growth could eventually reduce net supply, marking a significant shift in Aptos's tokenomics and network usage.
On July 12, 2026, Aptos will unlock approximately 11.31 million APT tokens, representing a small percentage of total supply but significant in a weak Layer-1 market with low liquidity. The tokens are distributed across community programs, contributor...
