Galaxy Research's new proposal introduces a weighted voting mechanism aimed at reducing SOL inflation rate

On April 18th, according to Cointelegraph, cryptocurrency research firm Galaxy Research proposed the "Multiple Election Stake West Aggregation" (MESA) mechanism in the Solana community, aimed at reducing the inflation rate of SOL. The researchers described the proposal as a 'more market-oriented approach to determining future SOL inflation rates'. Unlike traditional binary voting of 'yes/no', MESA allows validators to vote on multiple inflation reduction rates, and the final result is obtained through weighted averaging. Galaxy said, "Instead of constantly changing inflation reduction plans until a certain one is passed, it is better to allow validators to allocate voting weights to one or more proposals, and then use the weighted result of all 'yes' votes as the final issuance curve The inspiration for this mechanism comes from the previous proposal SIMD-228. Although the community generally supports reducing the SOL inflation rate, the proposal was not passed due to the difficulty in reaching consensus on specific parameters through the binary voting mechanism.
