#SolanaSurge

Galaxy Research has proposed a new voting system called MESA (Multiple Election Stake-Weight Aggregation) to reform how Solana’s inflation rate is determined. The current binary voting method failed to produce consensus on reducing $SOL inflation, even though there was broad agreement that it should be reduced.

Instead of a simple yes/no vote, MESA allows validators to vote on multiple deflation rate options, and the final outcome is calculated as a weighted average of these votes. This aims to create a market-driven, consensus-based model while maintaining a fixed terminal inflation rate of 1.5%.

The proposal addresses the limitations of binary voting by allowing more nuanced input and aims to align inflation decisions with community preferences. Solana’s current inflation rate is 4.6%, and over 64% of SOL is staked. Galaxy Strategic Opportunities, an affiliate, also operates staking services for #solana
