Galaxy<\/a> Research has submitted a new proposal to the Solana (SOL<\/a>) community to reform the network\u2019s inflation governance discussion through a method called Multiple Election Stake-Weight Aggregation (MESA), according to a<\/span> filing<\/a><\/strong> published on April 17.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The mechanism seeks to introduce a market-driven process to refine the SOL emissions curve without relying on single-outcome votes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposed method would not change Solana\u2019s ultimate goal of reaching a 1.5% terminal inflation rate but could substantially accelerate the timeline, depending on the outcome of the community\u2019s vote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Galaxy\u2019s projections, maintaining the current 15% deflation rate would see the network reach its terminal rate around epoch 2,135, approximately 7.4 epoch years from epoch 772. Steepening the deflation rate would bring this point closer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Addressing inflation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Concerns about Solana's inflation have further intensified this year. The network\u2019s <\/span>annualized inflation rate rose by 30.5%<\/a><\/strong> after implementing a new priority fee distribution mechanism under Solana Improvement Document 96 (SIMD-96), approved in May 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This change redirected all priority fees to validators instead of burning half, which reduced the daily Solana burn from nearly 18,000 SOL to around 1,000 SOL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the current Solana system, inflation follows a fixed, time-dependent curve that targets a 1.5% terminal inflation rate. However, Galaxy noted that prior votes, such as Solana Improvement Document 228 (SIMD-228), revealed challenges in reaching a consensus on adjusting parameters despite broad agreement that inflation is higher than necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

SIMD-228 proposed dynamic inflation adjustments based on staking participation and was<\/span> ultimately rejected<\/a><\/strong> on March 14. It secured 61.39% approval, falling short of the 66.67% threshold required for passage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz commented that the vote highlighted the need for better governance tools. At the same time, Solana Labs<\/a> co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko<\/a> argued for the importance of active validators over passive staker participation.<\/span><\/p>\n

MESA system<\/h2>\n

The new Galaxy proposal offers an alternative path by letting validators select from multiple predetermined deflation rates, with the outcome determined through a weighted average of these votes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MESA system would present validators with a range of “yes” options, such as 15%, 17.5%, 20%, and 25% deflation rates, in addition to the standard “abstain” and “no” choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each validator would allocate their stake-weighted votes accordingly. If the “yes” votes meet the quorum and minimum threshold, it will trigger a calculation of the new deflation rate as the weighted average across all “yes” selections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This approach aims to preserve predictability while allowing validators to express a wider range of preferences in a single process. T<\/span>he research team also clarified that the filing is intended to suggest a governance framework and not advocate for any particular inflation rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiered decision<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Instead of dynamically adjusting inflation based on real-time metrics, the MESA vote would enforce a fixed disinflationary trajectory, with the rate adjusted based on the collective input of validators once it is ratified.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposal also outlines several implementation questions for the Solana community to address.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These include determining how granular the spectrum of \u201cyes\u201d votes should be, whether to apply the existing 33% quorum and two-thirds supermajority thresholds from SIMD-228, and whether a simple weighted average is the most appropriate calculation method.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, Galaxy's filing presents various hypothetical voting outcomes to illustrate the process. In one example, if 5% of YES votes select to maintain the current 15% deflation rate, 50% choose a 30% deflation rate, and 45% opt for a 33% deflation rate, the new effective rate would be 30.6%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The system allows validators to express nuanced preferences while avoiding the inefficiencies of repeated binary votes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
