TREE NEWS update: Osmosis has ended OSMO token inflation, removing an estimated two percentage points of issuance-funded staking APR and shifting staking rewards to protocol revenue. The change also freezes about 51.9 million pre-minted developer tokens.
Osmosis Ends OSMO Inflation, Ties Staking Rewards to Revenue
This is a structural shift in how a major Cosmos DEX funds its security budget: staking yield now depends on fee and revenue generation rather than dilution, which turns OSMO into a bet on protocol cash flow rather than an emissions schedule. It affects stakers, validators and the treasury/developer allocation, since freezing the pre-minted tokens removes a latent supply overhang. The open question is whether revenue-funded rewards can compete with the APR stakers previously received, and whether the frozen developer allocation is eventually released or burned.
