Ethereum and Solana are simultaneously reconsidering the amount of new tokens they emit, with proposals that could substantially alter the economic architecture of both networks. On Ethereum, EIP-8361 would allow burning up to 100 % of validator rewards if 50 % of ETH is staked, bringing consensus-layer yields from 2.6 % down to approximately 1.2 %. On Solana, the dual SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0550 proposal aims to double the annual disinflation rate from 15 % to 30 %, reaching the inflation floor by 2029 instead of 2032, while multiplying daily SOL burns by 12 to 14 times, rising from 650 to between 7,500 and 9,000 tokens per day. Both Solana proposals cleared a crucial governance hurdle by securing 15 % active stake support.
