- Solana accelerates disinflation with SIMD-0411, altering SOL supply dynamics.
- Proposal could remove 22 million SOL from market in six years.
- Validator profitability may be challenged with reduced emissions.
Solana’s core developers have implemented SIMD-0411, doubling the network’s disinflation rate to 30%, sharply reducing SOL emissions with support from key DeFi stakeholders.
The accelerated scarcity in Solana’s supply is expected to enhance token value, aligning with Bitcoin’s scarcity model, possibly attracting long-term investors.
The Solana Foundation’s recent proposal, SIMD-0411, aims to double the network’s disinflation rate from 15% to 30%. This significant shift is set to impact Solana’s economic overhaul by sharply reducing new SOL emissions.
Core developers and stakeholders support the proposal, highlighting Solana’s dedication to enhancing its token structure. Key players, including Mert Mumtaz, underscore its importance, confirming the proposal’s activation and anticipated effects on supply dynamics.
The financial markets anticipate changes, as the proposal plans to remove approximately 22 million SOL over six years. This move aims to tighten SOL supply and potentially shift long-term holder strategies.
The reduction of SOL emissions could compress yield from 6.41% to ~2.42% over three years, challenging validator profitability. Institutional interest remains high, with major ETF launches signaling confidence in Solana’s market position.
Potential outcomes for validator & DeFi economics include shifts in staking rewards and governance dynamics. The supply change aligns with Solana’s goal to enhance token scarcity, inviting comparisons to Bitcoin’s supply model.
This proposal mirrors historical events like Ethereum’s Post-Merge implications, positively impacting valuation. The accelerated reduction in supply may foster a scarcity narrative enhancing SOL’s desirability as a digital asset.
Mert Mumtaz, Co-founder & CEO, Helius, “The proposal is live; it is a major move for Solana’s token structure.”
