In a landmark decision, the BounceBit DAO has voted to reduce BB token emissions by 15%, marking a shift toward a more deflationary economic model.
The adjustment impacts staking rewards, liquidity mining incentives, and ecosystem grants, with the aim of balancing network growth and token value preservation. The vote passed with 78% community approval, reflecting strong consensus among both retail and institutional stakeholders.
The new schedule will lower the annual BB inflation rate from 6% to 5.1%, gradually tapering emissions over the next 12 months. This change is expected to enhance scarcity while still maintaining sufficient incentives for validators, liquidity providers, and developers.
Market analysts predict the move could support BB’s long-term price stability, especially as demand for BounceBit’s DeFi services continues to grow. Historical data from similar emission cuts in other ecosystems suggest potential upward pressure on token value over time.
The reduction aligns with BounceBit’s broader sustainability plan, which includes revenue-sharing models, fee burns, and integration of real yield products for token holders.
