Solana validators approve proposal to prevent 18.9 million SOL from ever being minted after vote hits 67%
Solana validators narrowly passed a governance proposal to accelerate inflation reduction, effectively preventing 18.9 million SOL from ever being minted. The last-minute shift that brought approval to the two-thirds threshold (67%) underscores validator influence and governance risk, but the outcome materially lowers expected future supply. In the near term, this is likely to improve SOL supply/demand optics and refocus attention on staking and issuance dynamics.

A Solana governance proposal aimed at accelerating a reduction in inflation passed in a last-minute vote. The change would halve the daily pace of SOL issuance twice as fast, meaning 18.9 million SOL will never be created. The measure cleared the two-thirds threshold at exactly 67% after a Kraken-linked validator switched to support it in the final minutes, according to CoinDesk. The revision will directly affect Solana’s expected token supply.
