As of August 25, 2026, Solana’s community is advancing two governance proposals—SGP-0002 and SGP-0003—to reduce the SOL token supply by lowering issuance and increasing burn rates. SGP-0003 aims to raise daily burns from approximately 650 to 7,500–9,000 SOL using a resource-based fee model. SGP-0002 plans to double the annual inflation reduction, potentially eliminating 18.9 million SOL issued over six years. Voter turnout remains below 17%, falling short of the one-third threshold required for activation. With low participation, attention among altcoins may shift if Solana fails to move forward. A decline in community engagement could also affect the fear and greed index for smaller tokens.

ChainThink reports that on August 25, according to the Solana governance proposal page, the community is advancing proposals SGP-0002 and SGP-0003 to tighten the SOL token supply by reducing new issuance and increasing burns.

SGP-0003 (SIMD-0553) proposes introducing a resource consumption-based transaction fee mechanism, expected to increase the daily SOL burn from approximately 650 (around $65,000) to 7,500 to 9,000 (approximately $750,000 to $900,000).

SGP-0002 (SIMD-0550) aims to double the rate of annual inflation reduction, bringing the 1.5% minimum inflation target forward to 2029, with an estimated reduction of approximately 18.9 million SOL emissions over the next six years (about $1.89 billion).

The voting rate for both proposals is currently below 17%. For SGP-0002, the voting rate is 16.71% (in favor: 16.24%, against: 0.31%, abstained: 0.16%);

SGP-0003 stands at 13.53% (in favor: 13.23%, against: 0.27%, abstained: 0.03%). Both require a one-third participation rate to take effect; voting is still ongoing.
