Aptos said on X that the Aptos Foundation has committed to locking and permanently staking 210 million APT, or about 37% of the APT it held at mainnet launch. According to ChainCatcher, the tokens will not be sold or distributed.

The foundation said its operations will be funded by staking rewards generated from those tokens rather than by selling the locked assets. Aptos added that it will release further updates and shared a full tokenomics update.
