Solana Company (HSDT) announced its stance on upcoming Solana governance votes, supporting the proposed Solana Constitution (SGP-0001) while opposing economic proposals SGP-0002 and SGP-0003. The company expressed concerns that changes to disinflation schedules and fee structures could complicate cost planning for institutional participants.

Broader analysis of blockchain governance has highlighted distinct risks between different networks. While Cardano faces potential participation bottlenecks—evidenced by support for its constitutional committee renewal falling below required thresholds in late August—Solana’s model relies on validators acting as default voting agents. This creates a risk where inactive stakers effectively grant their voting weight to validators, who may hold conflicting economic interests.
