TRON founder Justin Sun has shared his thoughts about potentially reducing TRX block rewards, drawing parallels to Bitcoin’s halving mechanism.
In a recent tweet, Sun shared his thoughts on implementing a reward reduction for Tron (TRX). He noted that the cryptocurrency is already deflationary, with supply decreasing by 1% annually.
This makes TRX “the only deflationary asset among major cryptocurrencies,” according to Sun.
“This discussion about TRX’s upcoming reduction in block rewards is worth paying attention to! Will TRX follow Bitcoin’s path and enter a halving cycle?” Sun wrote on X. He also compared the potential change as an evolution similar to Bitcoin’s development.
Sun explained that as Bitcoin’s (BTC) network matured and its price increased, block rewards were gradually reduced through the halving mechanism. He suggested that TRON could follow a comparable path, noting that the rising TRX price has increased rewards for block-producing nodes across the network.
The proposal, formally submitted on GitHub as “Reduce TRX block rewards #738,” outlines several potential scenarios. Reducing 1 million TRX in daily block rewards would increase the deflation rate by 50% to 1.5% per year. At the same time, a 2 million TRX reduction would double the deflation rate to 2% annually, creating an impact “comparable to Bitcoin’s halving.”
The GitHub proposal also mentions multiple benefits of implementing such changes. This includes better deflation, increased staking incentives, strengthened network security, and improved economic alignment. “Timely adjustments to TRX block rewards can better promote the healthy and sustainable development of the TRON network and TRON ecosystem,” the proposal states.
Unlike Bitcoin’s automated halving mechanism that cuts rewards by 50% approximately every four years, TRX’s proposed reduction would be implemented through community governance. “Ultimately, this decision rests with the TRX community!” Sun emphasized.
Sun highlighted that even with reduced block rewards, “the current incentives for network validators remain highly attractive.”
