Can Solana’s Inflation Proposal Boost SOL’s Price?

Solana's economic mechanism reform has garnered widespread attention, with early investor Multicoin Capital proposing a governance proposal to modify the inflation model. The proposal aims to reduce the SOL inflation rate and adjust the issuance rate to a dynamic model to enhance network security and decentralization. It sets a target staking rate of 50%, dynamically adjusting issuance rates, with a minimum inflation rate of 0% and a maximum based on the current issuance curve. This reform is expected to have a significant impact on SOL's price, staking yields, and the network's economic model.
