Voting Begins on Solana Proposals Regarding Constitution, Inflation, and Fees

Abstract

Three key governance proposals are now up for vote in the Solana network. SGP-0001, "The Solana Constitution," seeks to ratify a foundational governance document, activating the on-chain svmgov system. It would formalize two proposal types: SIMD for technical changes and SGP for economic/architectural decisions. Approval requires 15% of staked SOL. SGP-0002, "Double Disinflation," proposes to double the annual disinflation rate of SOL from 15% to 30%, aiming to halve the time to reach the terminal inflation rate of 1.5% and reduce future issuance by an estimated 18.9 million SOL over six years. SGP-0003, "Resource and Inclusion Fee," aims to restructure the base fee. It would replace the flat 5000 lamport fee with a 2500 lamport block inclusion fee (to the leader) and a separate, variable resource fee based on transaction load. The change could increase daily burned SOL from roughly 650 to between 1,500 and 9,000. Top validator DFDV has voted in favor of all three proposals.

Three voting proposals have been initiated in the Solana network concerning governance, $SOL disinflation, and restructuring of base fees.

SGP-0001 (The Solana Constitution) proposes ratifying a "constitution" as the foundational governance document for the blockchain. If approved, the already deployed on-chain system svmgov will be activated.

The initiative will also establish two types of proposals: SIMD for technical changes and SGP for decisions on economics and architecture.

The support threshold for a proposal is 15% of coins locked in staking. The minimum stake for a validator-initiator is 100,000 $SOL, and the quorum is 1/3 of the stake. The voting period will last three epochs, and delegators will be able to override their validator's vote.

SGP-0002 (Double Disinflation) proposes accelerating the reduction of $SOL inflation by increasing the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%. This is intended to halve the time to reach the terminal inflation rate of 1.5%.

According to the authors' estimates, if the proposal is adopted, the issuance will decrease by approximately 18.9 million $SOL over six years.

SGP-0003 (Resource and Inclusion Fee) envisions restructuring the base fee. Instead of a flat 5000 lamports, it is proposed to split it into a fixed block inclusion fee of 2500 lamports (fully received by the block leader) and a separate resource fee dependent on the transaction's load.

According to the concept, "light" operations will cost less than the current fixed rate, while resource-intensive ones will cost more. The authors estimate that the volume of burned coins could increase from approximately 650 $SOL to 1,500-9,000 $SOL per day.

One of the network's leading validators — DFDV — has already supported all three proposals.

a16z's Latest Discovery: The Capital Winds Have Shifted, Blowing from 'Bits' to 'Atoms'

In its "Charts of the Week," a16z highlights three structural shifts in the U.S. economy indicating capital and labor are moving from digital ("bits") to physical ("atoms"). First, ETF themes have rotated from clean energy and healthcare in 2020 to AI, nuclear energy, space, defense, and infrastructure by 2026. Second, data center construction is a major economic driver, creating high-wage blue-collar jobs with significant wage premiums (up to 50% for construction workers) and reshaping local economies. Third, ride-hailing prices are rising (Uber fares up ~20% since 2024), while the gig economy sees explosive growth in social commerce. Meanwhile, AI agents, though early-stage, are consuming nearly 5x more tokens than humans and beginning to displace traditional automation tools like Zapier.

Olympus DAO Myth Reappears? A "Sovereign On-Chain Central Bank" Written with 4000 Lines of Immutable Code

A new project called The Standard Reserve has emerged, branding itself as a "sovereign on-chain central bank." It aims to replicate core central bank functions—currency issuance, money supply adjustment, and reserve accumulation—entirely through 4,000 lines of immutable code, with no human governance. Its core mechanism is a "reflexive monetary policy" based on a single signal: the net ETH flow into or out of the system's sole Uniswap v4 ETH/$STANDARD pool. Sustained net ETH inflows trigger an "expansion" phase, increasing $STANDARD issuance and using protocol fees to buy tokenized gold as a permanent hard reserve. Net outflows (or zero flow) trigger an immediate "contraction" phase, reducing issuance and using fees to buy back and burn $STANDARD. The system involves six key entities: the $STANDARD token (hard-capped at 1 billion), the central Uniswap pool, the Central Bank contract, Charter NFTs (acting as "banking licenses"), Branch units under each Charter (which earn a share of newly minted $STANDARD), and separate Vaults for expansion (buying gold) and contraction (buying back $STANDARD). To participate, users ideally acquire a Founding Charter NFT (initially 1,000 are free via allowlist/public mint). Each Charter comes with one Branch; more can be opened by burning $STANDARD for "expansion permits," increasing revenue share. Retiring a Branch lets users claim accumulated $STANDARD but imposes a dynamic exit fee (higher if many exit simultaneously), with half the fee burned and half distributed to remaining participants. All protocol revenue (from pool fees and Charter auctions) is allocated: 70% to the active Vault (for gold or buybacks), 15% to permanent protocol-owned liquidity, and 15% to the team. The project presents an innovative, game-theoretic model where user actions (expanding Branches by burning tokens or exiting) align with system goals of building reserves or inducing deflation. However, it is fully anonymous, with key parameters undefined and unaudited code, posing significant risks.

US Jobs, China PMI, and Inflation on Stage: Can Global Growth Maintain Resilience?

**Week 36 Macro Outlook: Key Data to Test Global Growth Resilience** The week from August 31 to September 6 will shift focus from policy discussions to a critical test of global economic activity. The sequence of events is key, starting with China's official August PMI on Aug 31, which will provide early signals on factory orders, services, and employment following July's contraction. The data flow then broadens. On September 1, US ISM Manufacturing PMI and the Eurozone's flash inflation estimate will offer simultaneous checks on demand, prices, and regional divergence. The subsequent US Federal Reserve Beige Book on September 2 adds granular, qualitative evidence on consumer spending, wages, and regional conditions. Australian Q2 GDP and Canadian trade and jobs data will test resilience in other major economies. The week's pivotal event, however, is the US August employment report on September 4. It will decisively influence expectations for interest rates, the US dollar, and broader risk appetite, acting as a final cross-check for the preceding data. The core question for markets is whether global growth can remain resilient. An ideal outcome would combine a rebound in China's PMI, stable US jobs growth, cooling inflation, and signs of a gradual demand slowdown. Conversely, weak Chinese manufacturing, sticky Eurozone prices, and disappointing US non-farm payrolls would create a more complex scenario of reduced corporate confidence and limited room for aggressive monetary easing, increasing pressure on cyclical assets. Investors should monitor the breadth of improvements—such as new orders and employment—rather than headline PMI figures alone. Confirmation across different data points is crucial. A positive combination of steady activity and disinflation could support equities, industrial commodities, and risk assets like crypto. However, if a growth slowdown triggers lower yields, it must be distinguished from a scenario of rising recession risks that would pressure corporate earnings, potentially limiting rallies. The market's final reaction will hinge on whether the week's signals align to either reinforce or challenge the current growth narrative.

Arthur Hayes Predicts New Financial Crisis and Bitcoin Rise to $126,000

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and CEO of Flop Labs, predicts a new financial crisis similar to 2008, driven by the massive US national debt nearing $40 trillion. He argues that to avert a collapse, the Federal Reserve will engage in covert money printing and yield curve control, making digital assets a key capital preservation tool. Hayes calls Bitcoin the "purest relief valve" against central bank money printing, forecasting its price could soar to $126,000 by year-end and potentially reach $500,000 after any major capitulation event, possibly triggered by a crash to $35,000. He strongly criticizes US regulatory efforts like the Clarity Act, stating they stifle real innovation and that Bitcoin needs no legislation. Hayes also introduced his new project, Flop Network—a decentralized computing power marketplace designed for an AI agent economy, which will distribute 20% of its tokens via airdrops without venture capital funding. He concludes that crypto is becoming a crucial financial hedge amid global instability but warns investors to exercise extreme patience and discipline.

Gold Price Hits $4,620 as Treasury Buyback Reignites Dollar Devaluation Speculation

Gold price surged to a three-month high above $4,620 per ounce as the U.S. Treasury Department's plan to double its long-term bond buybacks from September 9 to November 4 reignited fears of a weakening U.S. dollar. The dollar index dropped to a low not seen since mid-May following the announcement. Analysts noted the buyback program effectively shifts government borrowing towards short-term bills, a move markets view as negative for the dollar. This served as a catalyst, pushing spot gold as high as $4,600 with futures nearing $4,650. Technical analysts identified a breakout above the 200-day moving average, with the next key resistance level seen above $4,770. Some traders now speculate gold could reach $5,000 if the dollar's decline continues. Notably, the World Gold Council's optimistic 2026 scenario had been $4,500, a level already significantly surpassed. The same dollar-devaluation narrative also fueled a roughly 20% surge in Bitcoin following the Treasury's announcement, though some strategists remain skeptical of equating Bitcoin with traditional safe-havens like gold and silver.
