According to data from Dune Analytics, 746 validators (nearly 58% out of a total of 1334 active validators) have voted on this proposal. Of these voters, 37.8% supported the proposal, while 18.5% opposed it and another 1.2% abstained from voting altogether. Overall, as of writing this article, it appears that the proposal is likely to fail with voting ending at the conclusion of Epoch number 755 which is scheduled for approximately eleven hours later.

The proposed measure advocates for a market-based token issuance mechanism in order to ensure that excessive fees are not paid for security purposes on the network and anticipates having a positive impact on decentralized finance based on Solana by promoting liquidity in SOL markets across chains . According to some estimates , this proposition could potentially decrease SOL’s inflation rate from its current level at around four point five percent down towards zero point eight seven percent , representing an eighty percent reduction .
