Solana Validators Approve Faster Disinflation Schedule

Solana validators have approved a faster disinflation schedule after passing a governance vote on August 28. The proposal, SGP-0002, received 67.001% support, narrowly clearing the required two-thirds threshold by 0.331 percentage points.

The new schedule will increase Solana's annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, which is expected to reduce emissions by approximately 18.9 million SOL over six years compared to the previous schedule.

Under the approved change, Solana is projected to reach its terminal inflation rate of 1.5% in roughly 2.8 years, a reduction of about 2.9 years from the prior schedule's estimate of 5.7 years.
