The plan calls for a gradual reduction of staking yields from roughly 7% to just under 4% over the next three months.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t simply a cost-cutting move. The motivation behind the change is to steer contributors toward more involved activities that benefit the broader network, such as powering data infrastructure, engaging in MEV strategies, or supporting new decentralized systems like DePIN.<\/p>\n<p>At present, Aptos offers a competitive reward when stacked against other blockchains\u2014higher than Ethereum, but below Cosmos. Yet some developers argue that a high, predictable yield may be attracting too many passive stakers rather than encouraging innovation or long-term value creation.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/new-proposal-aims-to-resolve-solanas-inflation-dispute\/\" title=\"New Proposal Aims to Resolve Solana\u2019s Inflation Dispute\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/solana-1-1-240x170.png\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">New Proposal Aims to Resolve Solana\u2019s Inflation Dispute<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Critics of the proposal aren\u2019t silent, though. Smaller validators fear being priced out if the emission-based rewards shrink without added support. Some community members are calling for the Aptos Foundation to introduce a delegation initiative that helps level the playing field, citing models used by other major chains.<\/p>\n<p>To make the adjustment less disruptive, contributors have proposed new strategies to help validators offset the drop in staking income. These include monetizing node services, exploring transaction indexing, and tapping into alternative reward streams. The aim is to replace emissions-based returns with real, utility-driven value.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, the Aptos Foundation is being urged to rethink how it allocates stake across validators. Some suggest cutting ties with inactive or non-contributing nodes and prioritizing those that help move the network forward. It\u2019s a call to reward not just uptime, but active ecosystem engagement.<\/p>\n<p>While no final decision has been made, the proposal represents a broader philosophical shift: rewarding action, not just presence. For Aptos, the outcome could mark a turning point in how decentralized networks design incentives to scale sustainably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aptos blockchain could
