The Aptos community is facing an important discussion, as a proposal to slash staking rewards by almost 50% has been submitted. The proposal, put forward by MoonSheisty, suggests reducing rewards from the current 7% to 3.79% over the next three months. This move aims to align Aptos with other Layer-1 blockchains and enhance capital efficiency. While discussions about this proposal have taken place on X, initial feedback on GitHub reveals some hesitancy among community members. ElagabalxNode, another member, expressed concern that reducing rewards without compensatory mechanisms like a strong delegation program could impact the network’s decentralization. This could affect Aptos blockchain’s ability to remain robust in the long term.
