Solana validators back faster SOL disinflation, targeting lower issuance

Solana validators approved increasing the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, implying materially lower future SOL issuance (estimated 18.9M SOL less over six years). Reduced net supply growth can tighten token float and improves medium-term scarcity dynamics, which typically supports valuations and staking economics. The decision is a protocol-level change and is likely to be closely watched for follow-through and ecosystem reactions.
