The proposal, if passed, aims to reduce the coin supply in circulation by 20%. If the validator adopts this proposal, 1 billion of his TON tokens will be frozen for the next 48 months. Doing so would reduce the total supply to about 4 billion, shrinking the circulating supply from the current 1.47 billion.
The TON developer’s proposal targets inactive accounts belonging to the first minor group of layer 1 blockchains. The team hopes the move will help bring more decentralization to the project.
The plan is to have these large whales lock assets through a network of validators for 48 months and still earn more toncoins. However, according to the proposal, only whales holding more than 300,000 tonnes will be able to lock the coin, making the current price of $2.36 worth just over $708,000.
Larger whales without such ownership can join the pool and bet TON.

However, once the 1 billion TON tokens are locked, the short-term price action could turn upwards. Reducing the token supply in various ways as part of tokennomics is seen as positive for the price.
In this case, the bulls could retest $2.55 in the short term and consider December highs of $2.66.
However, the upward momentum may also depend on the overall market outlook in the coming months. It is also important that TON’s lock period is set at 48 months. This means that the price may go up and reverse when the coins start unlocking.
The TON is also down 55% from its all-time high of $5.29 reached in November 2021.
