TRON Block Reward Halving Proposal Now Officially Effective, Projected Annual Deflation Rate at 1.29%

On June 13, according to official sources, the TRON block reward halving proposal has now officially taken effect. The proposal reduces the block reward from 16 TRX to 8 TRX and lowers the voting reward from 160 TRX to 128 TRX.

A series of tokenomics proposals implemented on the TRON network have significantly impacted the supply structure of TRX, shifting it from an inflationary state to a deflationary model. However, a potential rebound trend has recently emerged. Notably, after the increase in the total energy cap between August and October 2024, the net increase in TRX supply has shown a gradual upward trend over the past few months, indicating that inflation may be resurfacing.

This proposal has been extensively and thoroughly discussed on Github and during multiple core developer community calls, ultimately reaching a consensus. Early TRX block rewards effectively stimulated network staking and trading activity. However, as the TRON network has developed, a higher TRX issuance rate may gradually dilute its value and weaken the incentive for long-term staking. This proposal reduces the total reward from the previous 176 TRX to 136 TRX, which is expected to achieve an annual deflation rate of approximately 1.29%, better aligning with the current scale and activity level of network transactions.
