By giving every staking participant a transparent, stake-weighted vote — and by guaranteeing that the underlying holder can always override the vote of its operator — it provides neutral infrastructure through which institutions can participate directly in the decisions that shape the network. That participation will strengthen Solana’s position as global financial infrastructure, and ratifying the Constitution (SGP-0001) is the right first step.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try againThe Company will vote against SGP-0002 and SGP-0003 on grounds of timing, not intent. Both proposals pursue reasonable long-term goals — lower issuance and fees that better reflect network resources. However, this is a critical moment for institutional adoption of Solana, and capital markets place heavy emphasis on maintaining consistent rules.In the Company’s conversations with institutions, the level of issuance is rarely cited as an obstacle; more commonly, its uncertainty over whether the network’s economics can be relied on over a multi-year horizon. Repricing the network’s two most stable economic parameters in the governance process’s first live cycle risks delaying institutions that are currently evaluating participation in validator operations and staking.On SGP-0002: Solana’s terminal inflation rate of 1.5% is already fixed, and the existing schedule already reaches it. The Company’s objection is not to lower issuance as an end state, but rather to reopening the settled, deterministic schedule. Staking yield is a reported financial line item — forecast, disclosed and audited — and for many holders it is operating cash flow. The Company would support a renewed disinflation discussion once there is evidence of sustained net inflow into SOL.On SGP-0003: the Company agrees that a flat fee mismatches cost to network load, but today’s fee is a known constant that financial institutions using Solana can budget in advance. Making transaction cost variable before the ecosystem has adapted transfers estimation risk to users and operators. The Company would revisit its position on a revised design that preserves a deterministic fee floor.“We strongly believe that institutional adoption is a critical driver of Solana’s growth, and institutions make decisions based on consistent, predictable structures. The positions we have outlined today are in support of furthering institutional adoption and we look forward to collaborating further with the industry to jointly shape the Solana network. Solana Company fully supports the SGP as an important foundation to attract more institutional participation in the growth and governance of the network.” — Joseph Chee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Solana CompanyThis advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The Company states its voting positions openly and in advance so that delegators can exercise their own vote with full knowledge of their operator’s position.Solana Company (Nasdaq: HSDT) is a publicly listed digital asset treasury and infrastructure company purpose-built to maximize SOL per share.
