A New Solana Proposal Would Take Daily SOL Burns From $47,000 to $650,000

The paired proposals would remove about 18.9 million SOL over six years and lift daily burns to as much as 9,000 SOL, according to supporters.

  • Solana validators recently began registering support for two governance proposals, SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553, which collectively aim to reshape SOL supply mechanics by adjusting issuance and destruction rates.
  • These proposals work in tandem, with SIMD-0550 pulling the 1.5% terminal inflation floor forward to 2029 from 2032, while SIMD-0553 introduces resource-based fees to increase token destruction.
  • Daily burns would lift from around 650 SOL to between 7,500 and 9,000, or up to roughly $650,000 daily at current prices, representing a 14x increase at the high end.
  • Helius leads the effort with 16.03 million SOL staked, with Blueshift contributing 3.6 million and Temporal Emerald 1.24 million, pushing current support to 5.8% of the 15% threshold needed.
  • The Solana Foundation initiated this governance process in July, ensuring validators prioritize significant questions while leaving routine technical updates inside the Solana Improvement Document process.
