The blockchain will also continue to use the mechanism of burning 50% of transaction fees.<\/p>\n<p>However, a <a href=\"https:\/\/vote.lagus.cooking\/\" title=\"\">proposal<\/a> to reduce the reward is up for a vote: from 1.7 TON to 0.35 TON in the masterchain, and from 1 TON to 0.2 TON in the main network. The deadline is set for June.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative aims to curb the growth of the annual inflation rate of the TON token. With current rewards and accelerated block issuance, the rate could rise from 0.6% to 3.6%.<\/p>\n<p>Following the update release, the TON rate increased by 2% over the day. However, the coin has been in a prolonged correction for over a year, having dropped 57% in the past 12 months.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img-29b5080286dcc25d-1354496660511780.webp\" alt=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-278243\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">15-minute chart of TON\/USDT on Binance.
