The Aptos Foundation presents a summary version of the Aptos protocol tokenomics below. A more comprehensive explanation of Aptos tokenomics and values is coming soon.

Initial Supply

Mainnet was launched on October 12, 2022. The initial total supply of Aptos tokens (APT) at mainnet was 1 billion tokens. APT will have 8 digits of precision as part of the fraction where the minimal unit is called an Octa.

Category % of Initial Token Distribution Initial Tokens

Community 51.02% 510,217,359.767

Core Contributors 19.00% 190,000,000.000

Foundation 16.50% 165,000,000.000

Investors 13.48% 134,782,640.233

Distribution Schedule for the Community and the Aptos Foundation

This pool of tokens is designated for ecosystem-related items, such as grants, incentives, and other community growth initiatives. Some of these tokens have already been allocated to projects building on the Aptos protocol and will be granted upon the completion of certain milestones. A majority of these tokens (410,217,359.767) are held by the Aptos Foundation, and a smaller portion (100,000,000) are held by Aptos Labs. These tokens are anticipated to be distributed over a ten-year period:

125,000,000 APT available initially to support ecosystem projects, grants, and other community growth initiatives now and in the future for the Community category

5,000,000 APT available initially to support the Aptos Foundation initiatives for the Foundation category

1/120 of the remaining tokens for the community and the Foundation are anticipated to unlock each month for the next 10 years

Distribution Schedule for Core Contributors and Investors

All investors and current core contributors are subject to a 4-year lock-up schedule from mainnet launch that unlocks according to the following schedule:

No APT available for the first twelve months

3/48ths of such tokens unlock on the 13th month after mainnet launch and each month thereafter up to and including the 18th month

1/48th of the tokens unlock each month thereafter beginning on the 19th month after mainnet launch so that all such tokens are unlocked on the four-year anniversary of mainnet launch

Estimated Token Supply Schedule

Today, more than 82% of the tokens on the network are staked across all categories, and a majority of these are currently locked in accordance with the distribution schedule above and not available for release.

Note: Both unlocked (i.e. tokens that are available for distribution) and locked (i.e. not available for distribution) tokens can be staked

Anticipated Total Circulating Token Supply for the next 10 years subject to network performance and staking assumptions.

Anticipated Token Supply Changes

Token holders who stake their tokens to a validator operator for purposes of securing the network and achieving consensus may receive staking rewards

Staking rewards are split between validator operators and stakers and are not subject to restrictions on distribution

Currently, the maximum reward rate starts at 7% annually and is evaluated at every epoch

The maximum reward rate declines by 1.5% annually until a lower bound of 3.25% annually

These rewards increase the total supply of the Aptos network and are dependent on the staked amount and validator performance

Transaction fees are currently burned, although this may be revisited in the future with on-chain governance voting

All rewards and reward mechanisms are also modifiable via on-chain governance

A New Player Enters at Third Place, Rothera Disrupts the Prediction Market Landscape

"Rothera Skyrockets to Third in Prediction Market Rankings, Disrupting Industry Landscape" Rothera, Robinhood's newly launched prediction market platform, has rapidly climbed to become the third-largest player in the sector by trading volume, trailing only giants Kalshi and Polymarket. Its growth is attributed not to attracting new users, but to migrating existing Robinhood user orders away from partner Kalshi. Previously, Robinhood served as a major distribution channel for Kalshi, accounting for an estimated 25%-35% of its volume. With the launch of Rothera, Robinhood now internally executes events like World Cup contracts, capturing revenue that was previously shared with Kalshi. Data shows Rothera's weekly trading volume surged from $21.9 million to $559 million within weeks, reaching nearly one-fifth of Polymarket's volume. Analysts estimate Robinhood's prediction market business could generate around $10 billion in annual revenue at this pace, potentially surpassing its historical crypto revenue peak. In response, Kalshi is reportedly exploring new distribution channels by engaging with investment banks for a potential IPO, requiring them to integrate their systems with Kalshi to access institutional clients. This shift highlights a new competitive focus in prediction markets: controlling user access and distribution channels rather than just product offerings.

Swooping to Third Place, Rothera Disrupts Prediction Market Landscape

The article "Rothera Shakes Up Prediction Market Landscape, Debuts at No. 3" details the rapid rise of Rothera, Robinhood's newly launched in-house prediction market platform. Originally, Robinhood acted as a major distribution channel for Kalshi, routing 25-35% of its user orders to Kalshi for execution, which involved revenue sharing. Rothera allows Robinhood to capture this value internally by migrating orders, particularly for events like the World Cup, to its own platform. This has led to explosive growth for Rothera, with weekly trading volume soaring from $21.9 million to $559 million in just two weeks, making it the third-largest prediction market behind Kalshi and Polymarket. Analysts estimate Robinhood's prediction market business could generate $10 billion in annual revenue, surpassing its crypto revenue peak. This growth represents a direct challenge to Kalshi, which is now seeking new distribution channels, including talks with investment banks for a potential IPO, to integrate its platform with institutional client networks. The key takeaway is a shift in the competitive landscape: success is increasingly defined not just by product offerings but by controlling the user distribution channels and value capture, as demonstrated by Rothera's swift ascent.

Commerce Ministry's Latest Export Controls Target 10 US Companies: Three Market-Moving Threads Explained

China's Ministry of Commerce placed 10 U.S. entities, including MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Red Cat Holdings, and Teal Drones, on an export control list, banning the export of dual-use items. This move is seen as part of an ongoing countermeasure in the rare earth sector. The analysis suggests the primary impact is on U.S. companies within the **military, drone, and rare earth** sectors, aiming to restrict their access to critical Chinese materials and technology. For the Chinese market, the event is interpreted as reinforcing the **strategic value and pricing power** of domestic rare earth suppliers. However, the potential stock market reactions are nuanced: 1. **Chinese Rare Earth Upstream:** Companies like Northern Rare Earth are near yearly highs, indicating this event's "beneficiary" logic is largely priced in. It may confirm the trend but is unlikely to be a new major catalyst. 2. **Chinese Rare Earth Mid/Downstream & Drones:** Sectors like magnetic materials (e.g., Da Di Bear, Zhenghai Magnetic) and military drones (e.g., China Aerospace) are relatively undervalued. While the drone listing highlights sectoral competition, it doesn't directly translate to new orders for Chinese firms. 3. **Impact on Listed U.S. Companies:** The effect on stocks like MP Materials is ambiguous. While Chinese restrictions pose a challenge, these companies are also core to U.S. supply chain security efforts and may receive increased government support, potentially offsetting negative impacts. Their pre-announcement stock prices did not indicate panic selling. In summary, the export controls strengthen China's position in the global rare earth supply chain but have uneven effects across related stock market segments, with upstream Chinese gains likely priced in and downstream/drone sectors receiving more indirect, sentiment-driven attention. The outcome for the targeted U.S. stocks depends on the balance between restriction impacts and potential compensatory U.S. policy support.

Loss Exceeds $7.5 Million: Analysis of the Honeypot Attack Targeting MEV Bot and Tracking of Stolen Funds

On June 21, Jaredfromsubway.eth, one of Ethereum's most active MEV bots, suffered a sophisticated honeypot attack, losing over $7.5 million in crypto assets. Attackers deployed a complex contract system, including a coordinator, trigger, and fake token/pair contracts, to exploit the bot's arbitrage logic. The core attack trick involved baiting the bot with transactions: small trades appeared normal and consumed token approvals, while larger trades preserved these approvals by using fake swaps. This left the bot with large, unused approvals for assets like USDC, USDT, and WETH. The attacker then drained these approvals in a final step. The stolen funds—$2.87M USDC, $2.04M USDT, and 1,474 WETH—were consolidated and partially laundered through Tornado Cash. This incident highlights that MEV bots must not rely solely on simulated profits for security. Extra caution is required with unfamiliar contracts or custom wrappers in arbitrage paths, and post-transaction allowance checks are strongly recommended.

Channel Dividends Are Dwindling, What Can DeFi Protocols Rely on to Resist Giants' Harvesting?

As the era of channel-driven growth ends, major tech giants like Coinbase, Stripe, and Kraken are vertically integrating by acquiring or building core infrastructure, capturing profits from underlying protocols. For instance, Coinbase leverages its Base blockchain to earn sequencing fees from protocols like Morpho, while Stripe acquired Bridge to internalize stablecoin yields, and Kraken bought NinjaTrader for derivatives licenses. This trend creates a power imbalance: entities controlling distribution channels can extract value from open-source DeFi protocols. However, protocols are developing a defense through multi-chain expansion. Examples like Morpho (with significant TVL on Ethereum and Base) and Uniswap (dominant across many chains) show that by deploying across multiple blockchains, protocols reduce dependency on any single chain operator, making them costly and risky to replace. The article argues that the future landscape will be shaped by the race between institutional vertical integration and protocol horizontal, multi-chain scaling. Protocols that embed themselves deeply across ecosystems and become indispensable due to high switching costs are most likely to survive and thrive amidst this consolidation.
