Solana proposes doubling disinflation rate to 30% in SIMD-0411
Solana introduced SIMD-0411, a proposal to increase the network's disinflation rate from 15% to 30% annually. The plan would reduce inflation from 4.5% to approximately 1.5% over three years, potentially removing 22.3 million SOL from the inflation schedule over six years. Community members have raised concerns about short-term impacts on DeFi yields, while supporters argue the measure could reduce selling pressure from stakers.
