Inflation is never ‘free.’ Every new token issued dilutes the savings of every holder. SIMD 0550 recognizes this, if security can be sustained with less issuance, then less issuance is the only honest answer
The real question isn’t whether stakers receive fewer tokens. The question is whether the network needs that level of inflation in the first place. If security can be maintained with lower issuance, then reducing inflation is beneficial because it reduces dilution for all token holders
@zensei@tokenterminal@solana@xStocksFi If tokenized equities continue gaining traction on Solana, it will be interesting to see whether institutional custody providers follow the liquidity
@lochie_sol@solana@toly@SolanaFndn With Alpenglow coming to mainnet, Solana’s resilience will improve substantially and the chances of outages will be insignificant
solana’s validator distribution continues showing why decentralization matters.
the largest validator client on solana holds 31.7% share, with the next largest at 23.3%, creating a far more balanced spread across the network compared to ethereum, where the largest validator client controls 53.9% alone.
a more distributed validator set reduces dependency on a single client, making the network safer, more resilient, and harder to disrupt.
another reason why solana’s foundation keeps getting stronger over time.
@justinknox__ The biggest unlock is aligning incentives across builders instead of competing for the same liquidity. Shared infrastructure compounds faster than isolated protocols
NFTs make way more sense on Solana than they did in 2021.
Back then the infrastructure wasn’t ready and the UX was terrible. Most people only saw speculation because that’s all the stack could realistically support at scale.
NFTs weren’t early.
The infrastructure was.
