Wu Shuo learned that Helius published a research article stating that the Solana proposal SIMD-550 suggests increasing the inflation decline rate from -15% to -30%, bringing the long-term terminal inflation rate to approximately 1.5% in the first half of 2029, rather than the currently planned first half of 2032. The model shows that this proposal is expected to reduce the issuance of 18.89 million SOL over the next six years, equivalent to about $1.51 billion; the nominal staking yield will gradually decrease from the current approximately 5.84% in the first three years to about 4.34%, 3.00%, and 2.25%. The article states that this proposal has limited impact on the number of profitable validators, with an estimated 2, 13, and 30 validators transitioning from profit or breakeven to loss in the first to third years, respectively.

Going from 15% to 30% feels like taking a step that’s a bit too big—could it be so big it ends up messing things up?

A nominal yield of 4% down to 2% looks okay, but has anyone calculated the real return after deducting inflation?

Accelerating deflation is definitely good for the coin price, but after staking yields are cut in half, will retail investors still be willing to lock up their tokens?

By 2029, it will drop to 1.5%, three years earlier than the original plan. Is the team so confident in the ecosystem?

Will the increasing number of validator losses year by year lead to a greater risk of node centralization in the long term?

18.89 million SOL under-issued—equivalent to directly destroying a $1.5 billion buy wall. If this proposal passes, SOL will fly.
