Aptos Governance Proposal Aims to Slash Staking Yields and Restructure Economic Model

The Aptos (APT) community is currently evaluating governance proposal AIP-119, which would gradually reduce the network’s staking yield by 1% per month for three months, lowering it from around 7% to approximately 3.79%. The proposal is the first step in a broader initiative to control inflation and improve capital efficiency by moving away from high-yield strategies. It also introduces a community staking initiative specifically designed to support smaller validators holding less than 3 million APT. The proposal will be under community and foundation review for the next four weeks, with a mainnet vote expected in the fifth week, and its long-term impact on the economic model will be monitored over a six-month period.
