Solana DAO Representatives Back 80% Inflation Cut in SIMD-228 Proposal Revival
Industry experts at the 2025 Solana Crossroads Conference have reached agreement on reintroducing the SIMD-228 proposal, which would reduce Solana's inflation rate by up to 80%.
The proposal will be presented in a revised format and conference participants believe it will likely pass, according to reporting from Odaily. This development could reshape Solana's economic structure in significant ways.
Representatives from several major organizations participated in discussions about the potential effects of this inflation-reducing measure. Participants included team members from Marinade DAO, Step Finance, and Kiln Finance.
The panel focused particularly on how the SIMD-228 proposal would affect Solana's token economic model. They analyzed potential changes to the blockchain's monetary policy that would result from such a substantial decrease in the inflation rate.
Validator incentive mechanisms were another key topic during the conference discussions. The experts considered how reduced inflation might alter the rewards structure for network validators who maintain Solana's blockchain operations.
While specific implementation details about the revised proposal weren't disclosed, the strong consensus among industry leaders suggests broad support within the Solana ecosystem. The original SIMD-228 proposal had previously been considered but not implemented.
If passed, this inflation reduction would represent one of the most substantial economic changes in Solana's history, potentially affecting token value, staking rewards, and overall network participation.
This news comes as other blockchain networks like TRON continue to grow their market presence. TRON recently reported that USDT circulation on its network has reached $70 billion, processing approximately $19 billion in daily transfers across its 302 million user accounts.
