Helius researcher submits a proposal suggesting to increase Solana's anti-inflation rate from -15% to -30%.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, June 17th, Helius published a research article stating that Solana's inflation adjustment proposal SIMD-550 suggests increasing the inflation decay rate from -15% to -30%, thereby shortening the time to reach the 1.5% long-term inflation target from approximately 5.7 years to 2.8 years. Model calculations show that this plan could reduce the issuance of about 18.89 million SOL over the next 6 years, worth approximately $1.51 billion at current prices.

The report points out that this proposal has a relatively limited impact on the overall profitability of validators: among 738 validators, it is expected that in the first year, 2 will become unprofitable or break even, in the second year, 13, and in the third year, 30 will shift from profit or breakeven to loss. Meanwhile, the nominal staking yield will gradually decline. Helius believes that SIMD-550 is part of Solana's recent efforts to optimize its token economic model, aiming to reduce the persistent selling pressure and price signal distortion caused by high inflation as the network gradually matures.
