$WAXP is going through a huge change. It used to be based on inflation, but now it is based on long-term sustainability.

#WAXBlockchain is no longer making an endless supply of tokens. Instead, it is following a deflationary approach that limits supply and pays people who use the network.


Here’s What This Means:

Going forward, WAX will cap new token emissions at 156 million #WAXP per year, and burn 50% of those emissions permanently—removing them from circulation forever. This change has already dropped the inflation rate to just 4.8%, and by late 2025, that number could fall to zero or even turn negative.


How Does It Affect Things?

With less WAXP in circulation, there are fewer things that people can use. This makes WAXP more valuable when demand stays the same or grows. It's how the network works that really changes the game." To pay for everything, WAX no longer makes new tokens. Instead, it relies on real usage, especially through its PowerUp system, where users pay small fees for each transaction. Many coins are burned when a lot of people use the network. Basic, useful, and focused on the customer.

The old model is turned on its head by this method. In order to move towards a self-sustaining economy driven by usage, WAX is moving away from printing tokens over and over again. Also, developers, NFT groups, and validators who want to work with a token that keeps its value over time will be smarter if they do it this way.

Compared To Other Major Chains

$ETH burns a portion of its gas fees, and $BNB does quarterly burns. But WAX goes even further, with automated, protocol-level burns tied directly to emissions—completely removing the need for centralized decisions. #Solana's main goal is speed, but #WAXBlockchain main goal is the health of the economy and the long-term health of the ecology.

Why Is This Important?

The Layer-1 contest isn't only about who can construct the fastest economy that rewards meaningful engagement. #WAXBlockchain is showing that you don't need a lot of inflation to run a blockchain. You only need to design things well, make sure they work, and stick to your promise to give them value.

As someone deeply involved in the WAX community through my #SocialMining efforts on @DAO Labs I’m truly excited to see this game-changing shift in #WAXP unfold
