Aptos APT

Commentary versus actual token vesting

Commentary versus actual token vesting: Official documentation carries complete circulation schedules for every genesis category, with exact genesis amounts, cliff structure and monthly release fractions. Governance-approved amendment on record: a 2,100,000,000 APT hard supply cap has been introduced, alongside a staking-reward rate cut (5.19% → 2.6%), a 10x gas-fee increase with all fees burned, and exploration of programmatic buybacks. This materially changes every allocation's percentage of total supply. Foundation commitment: 210,000,000 APT permanently locked and staked. Natural unlock reduction of ~60% year-over-year is projected for 2026–2027 as the four-year Core Contributor and Investor cycle concludes (month 48 falls 12 October 2026). No deviation, delay, acceleration, redistribution or unexpected unlock is recorded against the published schedules. Open mechanism: the rule determining which milestone-based grants within the Community allocation release in a given month is not itemised beyond the 1/120th formula.
