Solana Governance Vote Considers Faster Disinflation Path

A governance vote on Solana is currently underway to consider speeding up disinflation, which could potentially avoid an additional 18.9 million SOL over six years.

The proposal, if approved, would reduce the amount of new SOL issued during this period.

This change could have significant effects on dilution expectations and long-term assessments of Solana's supply outlook, as well as staking returns since issuance is part of the rewards received by stakers.

The vote leaves the outcome subject to governance, meaning the eventual issuance path depends on the decision and any implementation of the proposal.
