@AveryChing@jump_@shelbyserves AI and agents will need a new data layer, not just faster compute.
Shelby points in that direction—globally accessible, cryptographically verifiable data that’s dramatically cheaper and faster to serve.
I am 100% supportive of the tokenomics changes proposed by Aptos Foundation.
Aptos is transitioning from bootstrapping and building revolutionary products to sustained economic value onchain. Sometimes people ask, why are you so obsessed with extreme latency, scale, and enterprise-grade reliability?
Because unless the rails are better than the existing system, what are we doing? The world needs a global trading engine, a new financial infrastructure.
As Decibel and other trading products roll out imminently, trading tokenomics is the next phase for APT. These 7 proposals from Aptos Foundation align trading-driven demand for APT with reduced supply-side emissions into a new economic engine.
•Cuts emissions in half from 5.19% to 2.6%
•Burn scaling with trading activity - targeting over 32M with Decibel alone at 100 markets (and still aiming for more)
•10X gas fees (while still maintaining industry low pricing ~$0.00014)
•Hard supply cap of 2.1B APT
•Permanent lock of 210M APT
•KPI-gated grants
•Programmatic buybacks
I highly recommend reading the full proposal in detail (see below), it’s well thought out. Combine all of this with the right execution and burn exceeds emissions. Aptos has been building toward this path since the beginning (nearly 8 years now for me). I wish we could have delivered this product plan quicker, but I believe this disciplined direction is the right way forward.
I’m a big believer in this vision and am a long-term APT holder, having never sold any token granted to me as a co-founder.

Compliant privacy in blockchains isn’t sufficient.
It must extend throughout every use case. Compliant privacy for global trading and payments. Compliant privacy for hot storage. Especially in a world where LLMs need fast, private context and long term memory.
This is not marketing or narrative. It’s what we believe at Aptos and how we build.
@AveryChing Well said. Compliant privacy has to survive real usage; hot wallets, active liquidity, AI context, and long-lived state.
Critical for @kryzel_io, at the exact intersection of liquidity, risk signals, and AI-driven decisioning.
This is where infra choices really start to matter.
This is not hate. This is frustration.
We keep blaming the system, the government, the country.
But we never look at ourselves.
Something good finally gets built.
And the first thing we do is destroy it,break it, dirty it, ruin it.
Then we ask, “Why doesn’t India develop?”
Development doesn’t fail due to lack of money.
It fails due to lack of civic sense.
We damage public property, misuse facilities, act irresponsibly in public spaces, and still expect world-class infrastructure.
Even foreigners see this: Indians destroying their own country.
Ajit Doval sahab said it right: “The real enemies of Indians are Indians themselves.”
Harsh? Yes.
True? Also yes.
If you want to behave badly, do it in your own house.
Why destroy public places and national assets?
We have insane potential as a country.
But potential means nothing without responsibility.
Real development starts with behaviour.
If we want world-class facilities, we need world-class behaviour first.
Growth is not just about GDP.
It’s about how citizens treat what belongs to everyone.
This is my opinion.
You can disagree.
But at least think about it.
🇮🇳 66% of India’s crypto investors say the current tax regime is unfair.
59% report reduced participation in crypto investing or trading due to the tax structure.
Around 61% believe crypto should be taxed similarly to equities or mutual funds, while 17% prefer a separate tax framework.
Over 80% are calling for changes in the upcoming Union Budget 2026.
