- APT AptosBurn
A new report says Aptos now burns more than it pays out.
A research report shared by Aptos on Oct 27 2026 says Aptos now earns more from gas fees, which it burns in full, than it pays the operators who run the network. It found net new supply fell about 70%, from about 5% to about 1.5% a year, while daily transactions doubled to about 9 million. People ask whether APT could stop growing in supply at all.
