 Key Insights: Proposal may accelerate inflation drop, cutting SOL issuance by 22.3 million over six years. Faster decrease in supply could reduce staking pressure and improve long-term holder retention. Governance vote will decide if Solana adopts the accelerated path to 1.5% inflation. $2.9B Cut?

Based on today’s prices, that’s a cut of roughly $2.9 billion. This change would reduce the supply entering circulation and ease pressure on staking rewards.

According to the proposal: “The adjustment reduces issuance pressure and improves holder retention over time.” Staking Yield May Stabilize if Inflation Drops The decrease in token supply growth may help reduce volatility in staking returns. This could encourage long-term participation from validators and token holders. With lower yield dilution, holders may be more likely to keep their tokens staked. There are some concerns in the community that the faster reduction could be too aggressive. Others argue it brings forward a change that is already planned and helps the network adjust to evolving demand.
