Solana validators open stake-weighted vote on constitution, inflation path and fee changes

Solana validators vote on constitution, inflation and fee overhaul until Thursday Solana validators and delegators began stake-weighted voting on Aug. 23 on three governance proposals that stay open until epoch 1023 ends, expected around Thursday 15:30 UTC. The package would ratify a network constitution, speed SOL disinflation from 15% to 30% annually toward the 1.5% terminal floor, and split transaction fees into a fixed 2,500-lamport inclusion fee plus a resource fee burned by the protocol. Approval needs one-third participation and two-thirds of participating stake.
