So, is Aptos a genius and playing 4D chess, or are they about to step on their own proverbial dick? And yet… that’s the question that’s been swirling around AIP-119, the proposal to cut staking rewards by almost half. A 7% yield sounds pretty sweet, right? Free money! But what...
Aptos recently enjoyed praise as the cutting edge in blockchain innovation. Now, unknowingly, it could be choking Africa’s burgeoning crypto boom at birth. AIP-119 would take a machete to staking rewards. Though it seems like a small administrative change, the potential effects are unprecedented. Africans fear that this would derail...

UGC community member MoonSheisty entered a treasury proposal to reduce staking rewards by an effective almost 50%. This ambitious step has sparked a...
There is a major shift taking place in the Aptos ecosystem. At the same time, the community has been waiting for a planned halving of staking rewards. This change will reduce the maximum reward rate by 1.5% per year until it hits a floor of 3.25% per annum. This decision...
The Aptos community now stands at a critical crossroads. Now with this proposal to decimate staking rewards by almost 50%, the timing is incredibly suspect.
