Galaxy Research offers a new voting mechanism to adjust soil inflation on the Solana blockchain. This innovative system aims to exceed the limits of binary vote by introducing a more representative decision method, thus strengthening the decentralized governance of the Crypto ecosystem of Solana.
In short
- Galaxy Research offers the MESA system to adjust soil inflation.
- Presented on April 17, 2025, the proposal aims to improve governance.
- Current inflation is 4.6 % on Solana.
- MESA aims to a more flexible trajectory towards the target rate of 1.5 %.
- This model could inspire other blockchains to reform their governance.
Galaxy Research wants to rethink solana inflation on Solana
Faced with the failure of a previous vote aimed at reducing soil inflation, Galaxy Research offers a new governance model for the Crypto ecosystem in Solana. This April 17, the firm presented the Mesa (multiple election stake-weight aggregation) proposal, an alternative voting mechanism to make the collective decision more fluid and representative.
MESA would allow validators to vote either in a binary manner (yes/no), but on several deflation rate options. The weighted average of the votes would then determine the final rate adopted. This approach aims to reflect the preferences of the Solana market, while avoiding the blockages observed in previous proposals, in particular SIMD-228.
For example, if a majority of validators chooses different deflation rates – say 15 %, 30 % or 33 % – the system calculates a weighted average, leading to a more representative adjusted rate (eg: 30.6 %).
More dynamic crypto governance
Galaxy insists that this system does not aim for a specific rate, but to establish a more effective method to reach the target inflation rate of 1.5 %, currently planned according to the fixed solanna model. Today, annual inflation is 4.6 %, with 64.7 % of the total supply (387 million soil) already staked, according to Solana Compass.
This new model could transform Crypto Governance on Solana by offering increased flexibility without compromising the network stability. Galaxy Strategic Opportunities, affiliated with Galaxy, is already providing staking services on Solana, which strengthens the legitimacy of its proposal.
After an explosion of 40 % a few days ago, there is the more nuanced and participative approach to Mesa, which would allow Solana to better reflect the preferences of his community. This development would strengthen the stability of its ecosystem while inspiring other Crypto projects to rethink their governance systems to gain efficiency, transparency and legitimacy.
