Why Solana Should Double Disinflation

A deep dive into SIMD-550, which seeks to reduce emissions by doubling the disinflation rate

Our latest blog article makes the case for reducing SOL inflation and, more specifically, for why SIMD-550: Double Disinflation is the preferred approach. We then present our modeling of the proposals’ expected effects, including changes to the inflation curve, emissions, total supply, nominal staking yields, and validator profitability.

As a new governance system approaches that will give SOL stakers a voice in network decisions, we believe it’s time for all SOL stakers to determine the future inflation schedule.
