If accepted, these two proposals could lead to significant changes in Solana’s current economic model. The proposals aim to substantially increase the daily amount of $SOL burned in the network from current levels.
These proposals could increase the network’s daily consumption from 650 $SOL ($47,000) to 9,000 $SOL ($650,000).
It could also move Solana’s target of achieving 1.5% inflation from 2032 to 2029, reducing supply by approximately 18.9 million $SOL over six years.
Some experts argue that an increase in fuel consumption alone may not be enough to transform Solana into a deflationary system. They claim that even if daily fuel consumption increases to 9,000 $SOL, a deflationary shift will be difficult because it will remain below the 60,000 $SOL injected into the market each day.
