Two protocol update proposals are currently under discussion, aimed at strengthening the long-term health of the Solana 
$170 network. Asset manager VanEck has stated that these changes could lead to reduced earnings for validators in certain scenarios.
Changes in the Reward System
The first proposal, SIMD 0123, suggests sharing the transaction priority fees with validator stakers. This adjustment aims to facilitate faster transaction approvals, thereby preventing unnecessary off-chain agreements.
Matthew Sigel: “Reducing inflation is a crucial step supporting Solana’s long-term sustainability.”
Regulation of Inflation Rate
The second proposal, SIMD 0228, seeks to adjust the inflation rate of the SOL token based on the rate of staked supply. This initiative aims to reduce dilution and support the incomes of stakers. Supported significantly by Multicoin Capital, this proposal could help lower token inflation to 1.5% in the long run.
These updates raise concerns about potential reductions in validator incomes of up to 95%. Managers indicate that if the proposals are accepted, a more structured income sharing between stakers and validators could be achieved.
While staking allows users to earn yields by locking SOL tokens in the network, it also carries certain risks. In the event of system errors by validators, users may lose part of their collateral.
With increasing calls for regulatory scrutiny, asset managers are requesting a review of regulations for the listing of Solana-based exchange-traded funds. These requests aim to enhance the competitiveness of the network in international markets.
The implementation of the proposed updates could have far-reaching effects on transaction costs, inflation rates, and user yields. The final decision will be regarded as a decisive factor in the future performance of the Solana ecosystem.
