Solana considers doubling disinflation and SOL burns

Solana is voting on proposals to double disinflation to 30% and raise daily SOL burns to 9,000, aiming to cut new issuance by up to $1.5B over six years and tighten supply.

Solana is currently evaluating two significant governance proposals, SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553. These proposals seek to double the network’s annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30% and substantially increase the daily burn of SOL through transaction fees. If adopted, these changes would speed up the reduction of new SOL issuance, potentially cutting future emissions by approximately $1.36–$1.5 billion over six years. The average daily burn could rise from about 650 SOL to 9,000 SOL, marking a notable shift in Solana’s monetary policy. The proposals have entered the initial voting phase and are receiving strong support from stakeholders. This move is expected to reinforce Solana’s economic model and maintain its high-speed, low-cost transactions, while reshaping the ecosystem by reducing supply growth and changing token distribution dynamics.
