A leading DEX protocol has launched a new proposal to reduce the maximum supply of its ecosystem tokens from 450 million to 400 million to meet future development needs. The circulating supply is approximately 350 million, with a buffer of 50 million. Additionally, 3.5 million are reserved primarily for protocol development to reduce inflation risk. For holders, the supply pressure is alleviated.

【Blockchain Rhythm】 A leading DEX protocol’s official recently proposed a new plan to reduce the maximum supply of the ecosystem token from 450 million to 400 million. The logic behind this tokenomics adjustment is straightforward: the official believes that the new supply level can fully meet all future development needs of the protocol.

Currently, the circulating supply is about 350 million, leaving a buffer of 50 million between the current supply and the new cap of 400 million. However, the official stated that this reserve is not expected to be used passively and will only be activated in case of special circumstances. More importantly, the ecosystem development fund has already accumulated approximately 3.5 million tokens, and this reserve will be prioritized for protocol development before any new emissions are initiated.

This arrangement effectively minimizes inflation risk. With sufficient fund reserves and clear priorities, the protocol is unlikely to revert to a state of continuous inflation. For holders, this means a significant easing of supply pressure.
