The TRON Block Reward Halving proposal has now officially taken effect, with an expected annual deflation rate of 1.29%.

On June 13, according to official information, the TRON block reward halving proposal has now officially taken effect, proposing to reduce the block reward from 16 TRX to 8 TRX and the voting reward from 160 TRX to 128 TRX. A series of tokenomics proposals implemented by the TRON network have significantly impacted TRX's supply structure, transitioning it from an inflationary state to a deflationary mode. However, there has been a potential rebound in the near future. In particular, the net increase in TRX supply has shown a gradual upward trend over the past few months, following the increase in the total energy cap from August to October 2024, suggesting that inflation may pick up again. The proposal has been discussed extensively on Github and in several core developer community calls, and consensus has been reached. The early TRX block reward effectively stimulated staking and transaction activity on the network. However, as the TRON network grows, a higher TRX issuance rate may gradually dilute its value and may also weaken the incentive effect of long-term staking. The proposal will reduce the total reward from the original 176 TRX to 136 TRX, and is expected to achieve an annual deflation rate of about 1.29%, which is better matched with the current network transaction size and activity.
