Ethereum and Solana tokenomics evolution

Overview

Ethereum and Solana are evaluating structural changes to their tokenomics to manage supply and inflation.

Ethereum researchers have proposed EIP-8361, a “Tapered Issuance Burn” mechanism. This proposal suggests burning an increasing portion of validator rewards as staking increases, which could reduce annual consensus-layer yields from approximately 2.6% to 1.2%.

Solana is considering multiple proposals, including SIMD-0550 to double the annual disinflation rate and SIMD-0553 to shift to resource-based transaction fee pricing. Another Solana proposal suggests using inflation to fund the acquisition of income-generating companies, using the resulting revenues to purchase and burn SOL.

If these various proposals are approved, Grayscale research projects that both networks could see a sharp drop in annual inflation by 2031, with Ethereum potentially falling to 0.4% and Solana to roughly 1.1%.
