[Helius CEO's Extensive Lobbying Leads to Narrow Approval of Solana Inflation Reduction Proposal in On-Chain Vote] According to a report by Jinse Finance (via Bitcoin.com), Solana's first binding on-chain governance vote has concluded with dramatic results. The SGP-0002 proposal, aimed at accelerating the reduction of SOL inflation, narrowly passed. The proposal, spearheaded by infrastructure service provider Helius, plans to increase Solana's annual deflation adjustment rate from 15% to 30%, expediting the network's arrival at a terminal inflation rate of 1.5% and reducing the long-term issuance of new SOL tokens. In the final hours before the voting deadline, support for the proposal had not yet reached the two-thirds threshold required for approval. Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz engaged in intensive last-minute outreach, lobbying major validator nodes and institutions. A critical turning point came when Kraken's validator node, Kraken2, switched its vote from opposition to support just before the deadline. Ultimately, the proposal narrowly passed with 67% support, just meeting the approval threshold, while 25% opposed and 7.84% abstained. The staking participation rate reached 60.7%, satisfying the quorum requirement. Mert Mumtaz stated that after hundreds of communications, the decisive votes were secured in the final seconds, allowing the proposal to pass by an extremely slim margin. This vote marks a significant milestone in Solana's on-chain governance mechanism and will directly alter the long-term token release schedule for SOL.
