Aptos burns 174K APT in 30 days as total burn hits 1.9 million

Higher gas fees have sped up token burns on Aptos, but staking emissions are still adding far more APT than the network destroys Aptos has been burning its native token faster than usual. Over the past 30 days, the Layer-1 blockchain destroyed 174,100 APT, according to a post on X, and has now burned 1.9 million APT since its mainnet went live. That sounds like a deflation story. The supply math tells a different one. Data from the network’s real-time supply dashboard puts the monthly figure at 174,195 APT as of mid-October 2026. Meanwhile, staking rewards are minting new tokens at a far quicker clip than fees are removing them. On Aptos, every transaction fee is burned.
