Solana validator voting opens on two economic governance proposals
Solana validators are now voting on two economic governance proposals, SGP-0002 and SGP-0003, according to the Solana Developers account. The voting window runs until the end of epoch 1023, which the post said is expected around Thursday at 15:30 UTC.

The proposals are listed as SGP-0002, also referenced as SIMD-0550 and described as Double Disinflation, and SGP-0003, also referenced as SIMD-0553 and described as Resource and Inclusion Fee. The official post included links to both proposals in the Solana improvement documents repository, which serves as the protocol’s canonical proposal listing.
Two proposals, one voting window
The live vote puts the two economic changes on the same timetable, but they address different parts of Solana’s token and fee design. The official proposal names and identifiers matter here because the governance process is still in the voting stage, not an implemented change.
A separate explainer circulating from Solana Foundation DevRel focused on the fee structure changes tied to SIMD-0553, adding more context around that proposal for readers following the vote. The explainer itself does not change the status of the proposal, but it does show attention around the mechanics being discussed.
For now, the key development is straightforward: validator voting is active, and the outcome will determine whether the proposals advance beyond governance review and into the next stage of the process.
