Hard to say if there is information asymmetry when code is closed source and unclear if validators or other actors have any advantage.
We need systems that guarantee protection against MEV/front running. Encrypted mempool in @Aptos protects @DecibelTrade users. No one knows the orders until after sequencing. Verify this in the source code. This protection is a basic user right that all exchanges should provide.
Privacy features are coming to Aptos, pending an upcoming governance vote.
Confidential APT encrypts balances and transaction amounts at the protocol level, while keeping identities visible onchain.

500K+ users across 150+ countries just got access to Aptos rails through @useTria's neobank.
This is what happens when self-custodial finance meets infrastructure built for global scale.
And we're just getting started.
There is increasing demand for fast, global, and 24/7 money movement.
As regulations change and crypto adoption grows, Aptos continues to meet these demands at scale.

#14 in txn fees burned in just a few days after 10x'ing gas! Looking forward to further growth with new products & markets with @DecibelTrade & @shelbyserves mainnet.
The SEC has concluded that APT is a digital commodity, not a security.
Today's joint interpretive release from the SEC and CFTC brings needed clarity to everyone building in, investing in, and participating in the Aptos ecosystem. This is two agencies speaking with their full interpretive authority.
A landmark day for APT and the industry.

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.
🚨 BREAKING: @Aptos just proposed a MAJOR tokenomics update
And yes - it could potentially make Aptos deflationary.
Here’s what’s changing 👇
1. Gas fees to be increased by 10x
2. Staking rewards gets reduced to 2.6%
3. New supply hard cap: 2.1B APT
Now let’s do the math:
If @DecibelTrade adds 200 markets, running at 30 TPS, with the proposed 10x gas fee increase:
→ 94.67M APT burned per year
With staking emissions at the new 2.6% rate (assuming the same amount staked):
→ 63.58M APT removed from circulation annually
That’s ~5.31% of current circulating supply gone every year.
Interesting times ahead for Aptos.
Massive APT burns is coming!
