Solana Community Proposes Major Token Economic Shift

The Solana community has submitted Proposal SIMD-0411, aiming to accelerate the network’s deflationary timeline and reshape its long-term economic model for the SOL token. This proposal seeks to increase the annual deflation rate from -15% to -30%, reducing the time needed to achieve the long-term inflation floor from around six years down to a little over three. Current estimates suggest this change would decrease future SOL token issuance by more than 22 million tokens, which equates to nearly $3 billion in market value today – making this one of the most significant monetary policy adjustments for the ecosystem.
