Solana Proposes Radical Overhaul of Tokenomics

Two new Solana governance proposals aim to overhaul SOL tokenomics by doubling the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30% and increasing daily SOL burns from 650 to around 9,000 during high network activity. This could eliminate about $1.5 billion in future SOL emissions over six years.

The changes seek to tighten Solana's monetary policy faster than previous attempts, with support from key figures like co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko.

However, the proposals still face a high approval threshold and concerns from smaller validators about reduced staking yields.
