Astar Network Tightens Tokenomics to Combat Inflation

Blockchain firm Astar Network has implemented a series of adjustments to its tokenomics strategy to mitigate inflationary pressure within its ecosystem. Effective April 18th, the network lowered base staking rewards from 25% to 10%, aiming for a more stable annual percentage rate (APR) for users as they approach an ideal reward-to-inflation ratio. Astar emphasizes that this change ensures meaningful rewards without exacerbating inflation. The company explains that lowering automatic token issuance directly reduces overall inflationary pressure while maintaining incentives for users to stake their ASTR tokens.
