Aptos caps supply at 2.1B APT, hikes gas fees 10x, halves staking rewards, and burns all fees to boost token scarcity.

Aptos has implemented a major tokenomics overhaul by capping its total supply at 2.1 billion APT, increasing gas fees tenfold, and reducing annual staking rewards from 5.19% to 2.6%. All gas fees collected are permanently burned, aiming to make APT a scarcer asset over time. This move mirrors Ethereum's burn mechanism but goes further by burning 100% of fees. The Aptos Foundation also locked 210 million APT, removing them from circulation. Future token minting beyond the cap requires community approval, giving holders control over supply dilution.

Aptos has set a hard cap of 2.1 billion APT tokens in its recent tokenomics overhaul.
