The proposal SIMD-0228 suggests shifting from fixed-rate token emissions to a programmatic "market-based emission" schedule based on staking participation rate. The authors believe this change would benefit the Solana network by reducing inflation, increasing DeFi usage, and improving the narrative around inflation. Some notable Solana builders and personalities support the proposal. However, dissenting voices argue that it would negatively impact the ecosystem. SolBlaze.org, a Solana network validator, fears that the proposal would decrease the amount of tokens staked, threatening decentralization and security. Others, including Solana Foundation President Lily Liu, have also voiced opposition. Voting on the proposal is expected to begin soon.
