Kraken tips Solana’s razor-thin inflation vote

Solana's SGP-0002 proposal passed with 67% support, doubling SOL's disinflation rate from 15% to 30%. Kraken's last-minute vote shift was decisive. The change reduces future SOL issuance by ~18.9M tokens over six years, with long-term inflation remaining at 1.5%. Two other proposals, SGP-0001 and SGP-0003, were also voted on, with the former passing and the latter failing.

The change accelerates Solana's path to a 1.5% terminal inflation rate, reducing staking yields and potentially making some validators unprofitable. According to the proposal, this removes about 18.9 million SOL from emissions over six years.
