A community member proposed to cut Aptos staking rewards by almost 50%. The plan aims to align rewards with other blockchains, sparking interest but facing pushback. Critics fear smaller validators could be edged out, weakening decentralization. Aptos, founded in 2021, has nearly $974 million locked in. High rewards may deter participation in other ecosystem opportunities.

Staking rewards vary widely across blockchains, from 0.55% on Cardano to 7.43% on BNB Smart Chain. Staking incentivizes token locking, supports validators, and secures networks. Proposals to tweak staking rules are common. Risks include centralization as smaller pools merge into larger ones, compromising decentralization and network resilience.
