According to @ItsDave_ADA, Solana SOL has minted $38.3 billion worth of new supply in just over three years due to an inflationary design without a max cap, raising dilution concerns for investors, source: x.com/ItsDave_ADA. Solana’s protocol uses an inflation schedule that began near 8 percent annual issuance and decays by 15 percent per year toward a roughly 1.5 percent terminal rate, and it does not enforce a fixed maximum supply, source: docs.solana.com. By contrast, Bitcoin BTC has a hard cap of 21 million coins written into the protocol, source: bitcoin.org, while Cardano ADA has a fixed maximum supply near 45 billion ADA, source: cardano.org. For trading, monitor SOL’s current inflation rate and active staking participation to gauge net dilution for non-stakers versus staking yield, and compare the supply dynamics and scarcity narratives when positioning SOL relative to BTC and ADA, source: docs.solana.com for Solana inflation mechanics; bitcoin.org for BTC cap; cardano.org for ADA supply.
