Osmosis stops printing new OSMO
@osmosis has switched off $OSMO inflation, and today’s daily epoch minted zero new tokens, down from 91,324 a day. Proposal 1053 passed with a 91.1% yes vote. The daily release of developer tokens is also paused, leaving about 51.9M OSMO in place until a separate vote.
Staking rewards now come only from protocol revenue, mainly trading fees. Osmosis estimates its current burns remove about 2% of supply a year, so the 955.6M OSMO in existence today should only decrease from here.
