[Proposal] Reduce Aptos Staking Rewards: 6.8% → 3.79%

General
1

A new AIP suggests lowering Aptos staking rewards over 3 months to improve capital efficiency and align with other L1s. The goal is to reduce passive staking and encourage more active participation in DeFi, infrastructure, and restaking.

Pros:

  • Lower inflation
  • More capital into the ecosystem
  • Aligns incentives for builders

Cons:

  • Hurts small validators
  • Could reduce APT holding incentive
  • Risk to decentralization

A community validator program is suggested to support smaller players.

better to encourage liquid staking through incentives. aptos has tons of tokens left for community distribution. use them to build a more robust defi system.
