- The goal of Solana’s new governance plan (SIMD-0553) is to raise daily SOL burning from roughly 650 SOL to up to 9,000 SOL, which might result in daily burns reaching $650,000.
- In order to help the network meet its 1.5% inflation target by 2029 and cut future SOL emissions by 18.9 million tokens, SIMD-0550 suggests doubling Solana’s annual disinflation rate to 30%.
- Together, the ideas strengthen Solana’s long-term tokenomics without causing the network to become deflationary right away by increasing SOL burns while reducing the issuance of new tokens.
When validators start to support a new governance proposal that could significantly raise daily SOL burns and expedite the network’s inflation reduction timeline, Solana is getting ready for a big change in its tokenomics. If approved, the proposal would reshape how SOL enters and exits circulation, potentially strengthening the blockchain’s long-term economic model.
A resource-based transaction fee model is introduced in the proposal, SIMD-0553, which charges users based on the amount of computing power used on the network. Daily SOL burns are predicted to increase under the proposed revisions from about 650 SOL (approximately $47,000) to between 7,500 and 9,000 SOL, or almost $650,000 at current market values.
Solana Combines Higher SOL Burns With Lower Token Issuance
Alongside the fee overhaul, SIMD-0550 proposes doubling Solana’s annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%. By making this change, the network would be able to meet its long-term inflation goal of 1.5% by 2029 rather than the 2032 timescale that was first anticipated. The plan is anticipated to eliminate over 18.9 million SOL from future token issuance during a six-year period, which would result in emissions reductions of almost $1.36 billion.
The two plans work together to address both sides of Solana’s token supply. SIMD-0550 decreases the quantity of new tokens going into circulation, whereas SIMD-0553 increases the amount of SOL permanently removed through transaction fees. The goal of the combined impact is to improve the supply-demand balance without causing the network to become deflationary right away.
Solana Burn Proposal Still Falls Short Of Daily Token Issuance
Solana would still issue significantly more SOL than it destroys every day, even with the huge rise in token burns. The network would continue to produce about 60,000 SOL through inflation at the upper estimate of 9,000 SOL burned daily, indicating that the suggestions mainly lessen rather than completely eradicate inflation.
Although the proposal has not yet attained the threshold necessary for a formal vote, validator support is continuously increasing. 24.94 million SOL, or 5.8% of the network’s 432.65 million staked SOL, have been committed by 16 validators. Before the signaling period concludes on August 18, the proposal must garner support from at least 15% of all staked SOL in order to move on to the next level. This indicates that an additional 40 million SOL are necessary.
