Particl - Hardfork - 01 February 2026
Particl will activate a mandatory hardfork that reduces the staking reward to 3.5% APR and removes the treasury fund donation stake split, as detailed in the project’s core release announcement. Mechanically, this lowers the protocol’s inflation rate while redirecting the full, smaller reward to stakers instead of splitting it with the treasury. Lower issuance is structurally supportive for price if demand is stable, since fewer new PART enter the market. On the other hand, reduced yield may weaken staking participation, potentially increasing liquid supply on exchanges and raising short‑term selling pressure if holders seek higher returns elsewhere.
