Solana SGP-0002 Vote Hopes to Halve Inflation Pace by 2029

Solana has opened a vote to double its disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, reducing projected six-year SOL supply by 18.9M tokens, worth approximately $1.81B at $95.70.

The proposal, SGP-0002, aims to accelerate the reduction of new SOL issuance without changing the network's 1.5% inflation floor. It is linked to SIMD-0550, authored by Lostin and 0xIchigo of Helius, which models a total supply of 708.54 million SOL after six years under the proposed schedule.

If approved, the vote would reduce staking rewards and validator economics would weaken gradually, with two additional operators becoming unprofitable or moving from breakeven after one year, rising to 13 after two years and 30 after three years.
