The Aptos community is considering a proposal to slash staking rewards for its native token, APT, by nearly 50%. Advocates argue this will enhance capital efficiency, while critics warn of risks to smaller validators. The debate highlights the challenges of balancing incentives in blockchain ecosystems.

  • Aptos' AIP-119 proposes slashing staking rewards from 7% to 3.79% to improve competitiveness and capital efficiency.
  • Critics warn the reduction could disproportionately affect smaller validators, risking centralization without safeguards.
  • APT's trading volume surged 6.47% to $94M amid the debate, though the token remains down 11% monthly.
