Aptos AIP-146 governance proposal enables staked APT holders to unlock higher transaction limits for onchain markets and complex DeFi operations.
DeFi & Yields ·
Aptos governance proposal AIP-146 enables staked APT holders to access higher transaction limits on the network, allowing operations like liquidations, complex DeFi transactions, and risk management to execute with greater capacity. The mechanism ties staking directly to transaction throughput, permitting heavier workloads to operate fully onchain without intermediary settlement.
Onchain markets require participants to verify trades and settlement independently rather than relying on third-party confirmation. To maintain this transparency while handling demanding financial operations, the network needs sufficient transaction capacity. AIP-146 addresses this by raising transaction limits conditional on APT staking, creating a direct linkage between network security participation and transaction bandwidth allocation.
The proposal's implementation details—including how staking tiers map to specific transaction limits, the effective date of rollout, and any transitional provisions—remain to be confirmed through the governance process.
