BTTC 2.0 Overhaul: Slashing APYs and Rewriting Tokenomics Rules

Hold onto your staking rewards—BTTC’s latest upgrade isn’t here to make friends. The network’s 2.0 revamp axes legacy tokenomics, tightening supply mechanics while trimming those juicy APYs down to size.

Stakers brace for impact: The days of easy yield are over. BTTC’s new model prioritizes scarcity over generosity, betting long-term holders will stick around for the tech—not just the double-digit returns.

Wall Street would be proud: Another ‘strategic adjustment’ that conveniently benefits the protocol’s treasury. At least this time they’re upfront about it.

The BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is poised for a significant transformation as it prepares to implement the BTTC 2.0 upgrade. This strategic move aims to refine the network’s efficiency while reinforcing the value of its native token, BTT, according to BitTorrent Inc.

Deflationary Tokenomics Model

The upgrade introduces a deflationary tokenomics model, which will see a reduction in the total production of BTTC 2.0 tokens starting in early June. This initiative is designed to increase the token’s scarcity, thus bolstering its long-term value and fostering a more sustainable ecosystem.

Staking APY Adjustment

In tandem with the token scarcity measures, BTTC will adjust its staking Annual Percentage Yield (APY) to 6%. This adjustment is reflective of two significant changes:

• A decrease in on-chain token production, which will result in a more aligned reward allocation system with the evolving economic landscape of the ecosystem.
• Greater decentralization and network security, facilitated by an increase in the number of nodes joining BTTC 2.0 as validators. This change will enable a more dispersed reward pool, thereby enhancing the network’s decentralization and security while ensuring fair participation opportunities for validators.

Community Vigilance and Implementation

The BTTC community remains vigilant in monitoring market conditions to ensure that the staking mechanism stays stable, fair, and responsive to user needs. Detailed information about the APY adjustment and its implementation timeline will be shared in early June through official community channels.
