Wu said that the Solana community discussion post proposed improving the SOL token economy through resource-based base fees, suggesting charging and burning 0.1 lamport per request unit. The initiator cavemanloverboy stated that the current SOL burn scale is very small; under 3,000 TPS and approximately 259 million transactions per day, about 648 SOL are burned daily as base fees. Based on an estimated total request cost per block of 50 million to 300 million cost units, this plan could burn an additional approximately 1,080 to 6,480 SOL daily, plus the current approximately 648 SOL burned as base fees, but it still falls below the daily inflation of about 60k SOL.

SOL-1.89%

The amount burned still can't outpace inflation; it feels like a drop in the bucket.

0.1 Lamport sounds like there are many zeros after the decimal point, but how much can actually be burned?

cavemanloverboy this name sounds quite savage, but the plan is quite proper

If this plan is approved, will the validators' rewards be compressed?

It feels more like a narrative positive, with limited actual impact

Daily new additions of 1,080-6,480 coins, combined with the original amount, clearly fall short of the 60k inflation gap.

It looks like there will probably be another debate about MEV under caveman's post.

What if TPS is raised to 50k? The numbers would look better.

Other chains have already been implementing burning mechanisms, SOL's actions are slow.

Is it reliable to estimate when the cost units fluctuate so much between 50 million and 300 million?
