Temporal projects daily burns rising from about 648 SOL to between 7,500 and 9,000 SOL at the terminal rate, and models net annual supply growth near 1.05% by 2029 if both pass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three proposals had met quorum on the official governance dashboard by early Friday, with 47.29% of staked SOL participating on the disinflation measure and 42.08% on the fee change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Votes cast ran 68.58% in favour of the former and 62.45% in favour of the latter; passage requires a two-thirds supermajority of votes cast, with abstentions counting toward quorum only.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more: Hyperliquid Policy Center Calls for Clearer U.S. Rules on Perpetuals<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Cryptocurrency,Solana#Solana #Activity #Hits #Record #Validators #Weigh #1.5B #Supply #Cut1787898376<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analyst firm The Kobeissi Letter counted a record 4.2 billion Solana transactions in July, up 13.5% on June and 91% above December 2025.
