Simple parameter changes can materially improve a network’s tokenomics. In March, @Aptos tokenholders voted to raise gas fees 10x and halve staking rewards. No new mechanism was needed as Aptos has burned every gas fee since launch. However, at the old prices that burn covered just 0.2% of issuance (now ~10%). The repricing moved both sides at once. The burn went up while validator commission roughly halved along with issuance, and Token Holder Net Income went from around -ve $130K a week in January to positive by May. Demand held as well. Daily transactions doubled to ~9M even at 10x the old fees, which is why the network now burns more in gas fees than it pays its operators.
