Galaxy Research proposes a revolutionary change to Solana’s inflation model through its MESA (Multiple Election Stake-Weight Aggregation) system. This innovative proposal aims to address limitations of existing voting mechanisms, leading to more representative and effective governance for the Solana crypto ecosystem. Launched on April 17th, 2025, the MESA system introduces a dynamic approach to decision-making by allowing validators to vote on multiple deflation rate options, resulting in weighted average outcomes that better reflect the overall community preference. This differs from previous proposals, like SIMD-228, which led to deadlocked voting processes. 4.6% inflation currently defines Solana’s system but the MESA model aims for a more flexible and efficient path towards the 1.5% target rate. This shift could inspire other blockchains to rethink their governance strategies, paving the way for greater stability and community engagement.
