Galaxy proposed the MESA consensus method to address the inflation governance issue of Solana

ChainCatcher message, recently, Galaxy Research submitted a new proposal to the Solana community aimed at reforming the network's inflation governance discussion through a method called Multi-Election Staking Weight Aggregation (MESA). This mechanism attempts to introduce a market-driven process to optimize the SOL emission curve without relying on a single outcome vote. The proposed method will not change Solana's ultimate goal of achieving a 1.5% final inflation rate, but it may significantly shorten the timeline to reach that goal based on community voting results.According to Galaxy's predictions, if the current 15% deflation rate is maintained, the network will reach its final inflation rate at epoch 2,135. Increasing the deflation rate will bring this point forward. In the current Solana system, inflation follows a fixed, time-related curve, aiming for a final inflation rate of 1.5%. However, Galaxy points out that previous votes indicated that while there is a general consensus that the inflation rate is above necessary levels, reaching an agreement on adjusting parameters has been challenging. Galaxy's new proposal offers an alternative that allows validators to choose from multiple predetermined deflation rates, with the result determined by the weighted average of these votes. MESA voting will not dynamically adjust inflation based on real-time metrics but will enforce a fixed anti-inflation trajectory, and once approved, the deflation rate will be adjusted according to the collective opinion of validators.It is reported that this mechanism is inspired by the previous proposal SIMD-228. Although the community generally supports lowering the SOL inflation rate, the binary voting mechanism has made it difficult to reach a consensus on specific parameters, resulting in the proposal's failure to pass.

The RWA platform Kula has officially launched its governance token KULA

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the RWA platform Kula officially launched its governance token KULA on April 15, 2025, and it is now available for trading on MEXC, Coins.xyz, and Coins.ph (KYC completion required). Its core mechanisms and ecological progress are as follows:Token FunctionalityKULA abandons traditional revenue models, with no staking, liquidity mining, or delegation mechanisms; 1 token = 1 vote, allowing holders to directly participate in on-chain governance and decide the allocation of funds for real assets;Governance decisions are fully transparent and executed through smart contracts, covering areas including agricultural land in Zambia, hydropower in Nepal, and minerals in Malaysia, which are asset classes not reached by traditional finance.Real Asset LayoutCurrently, regenerative agriculture, small energy, and mineral governance projects have been launched in Zambia, Nepal, and other locations through the RegionalDAO network, with a total underlying asset value exceeding $40 million;DAO projects in regions such as Poland, India, Indonesia, and Ghana are about to be advanced, and voting rights for funding proposals will be fully opened to token holders.Compliance Framework DesignA Web2.5 hybrid model is adopted: on-chain execution relies on smart contracts, while off-chain operations through entities in the Cayman Islands and Mauritius, Singapore ensure legal enforceability;In the early stages, $17 million in funding has been secured to build governance toolchains and compliance infrastructure.Kula co-founder Samuel Chen emphasized, "KULA is not a speculative tool, but a governance medium that truly allows the community to control its land, energy, and asset values." Currently, its treasury proposal system has entered the launch phase, and the on-chain governance process can be tracked in real-time through smart contracts.
