by@Aptos
Summary
In mid-October, the Aptos blockchain reported that 174.1K $APT tokens were burned in the last 30 days, bringing the total to 1.9 million $APT burned since the mainnet launch. This token burn occurs with every transaction, thanks to a fee structure implemented to permanently remove $APT from circulation, which contributes to the deflationary dynamics of the token supply. Following a 10x increase in transaction fees, the average fee has been set at $0.0005, reflecting an annualized burn rate of 2.1 million $APT per year.
