The TRON network has implemented significant reductions in block production and voting rewards through the activation of governance proposal 102.
This strategic move aims to increase the deflationary pressure on TRX and improve the blockchain’s long-term tokenomics.
Block rewards have been halved from 16 TRX to 8 TRX per block, while voting rewards simultaneously underwent a 20% reduction – decreasing from 160 TRX to 128 TRX.
This adjustment is projected to elevate TRX’s annual deflation rate significantly from 0.85% to 1.29%.
The increased burn rate enhances token scarcity fundamentals by permanently removing more coins from circulation.
The reward modifications were executed through TRON’s delegate-based governance system.
Super Representatives (SRs) who produce blocks and participate in voting finalized the changes, reflecting community consensus through voting mechanisms.
While SRs and voters face reduced short-term income streams, this recalibration targets sustainable network growth and token valuation over time.
The update does not impact transaction confirmation speeds or network fees.
The fundamental alteration focuses on economic restructuring to strengthen TRON’s investment appeal.
By tightening new supply inflows, the protocol aims to bolster its economic health and competitive positioning among layer-1 blockchain ecosystems.
