Gov Proposal #185 passes and executes, updating network gas parameters and increasing transaction fees by 10x.
A sudden 10x gas fee hike is a clearly negative UX shock for an L1, likely reducing on-chain activity, DeFi usage, and developer enthusiasm. While it marginally increases APT demand per transaction, the net effect is perceived as governance misalignment and weaker long‑term adoption. Not part of a hot narrative; more of a bearish, “sell/avoid on news” event that can trigger a short‑term volatility spike rather than a sustained bull catalyst.
