Solana at a Crossroads: Protect Staking Yields or Make SOL Scarcer?

Solana's SIMD-550 proposal, now in a community vote, would accelerate SOL inflation decline, cutting nominal staking yield from about 5.25% today to 2.25% in three years. The change pits staker income against token scarcity, forcing a community decision on SOL's economic model. Vote outcome will shape future supply dynamics.
