Key Terms

5 terms

on-chain voting technical

"ahead of on-chain voting expected to open on 22 August 2026"

A method of casting and recording governance votes directly on a blockchain, where each vote is written to a public, tamper-resistant ledger rather than kept off in private systems. Think of it like signing a decision in a shared, unchangeable notebook that anyone can verify. Investors care because on-chain voting determines rules and resource use for a project with clear transparency and finality, which can affect token value, risk and control.

stake-weighted vote technical

"a transparent, stake-weighted vote"

A stake-weighted vote is a voting system where each participant’s voting power is proportional to the size of their economic stake—typically the number of shares or tokens they own. It matters to investors because it determines how much influence each holder has over corporate decisions like electing directors, approving mergers, or changing bylaws; think of it as one’s vote being weighted like the amount of money they have on the table, so larger owners carry more sway in outcomes.

disinflation financial

"Double Disinflation Rate"

Disinflation is a slowdown in the rate at which prices are rising, meaning goods and services still get more expensive but at a gentler pace than before. For investors it matters because slower price growth can influence interest rates, corporate profit margins and consumer spending—like a car easing off the gas rather than braking suddenly—helping predict whether bonds, stocks or cash are likely to perform better in coming months.

terminal inflation rate financial

"Solana's terminal inflation rate of 1.5% is already fixed"

The terminal inflation rate is the long-run, steady level of inflation that markets or policymakers expect the economy to settle at after short-term ups and downs. Think of it like the cruising speed of prices: it influences long-term interest rates, the real value of future cash flows, and therefore how investors value bonds and companies, because it helps determine expected real returns and discount rates.

staking yield financial

"Staking yield is a reported financial line item"

Staking yield is the return or profit earned by holding and locking up a specific digital asset in a blockchain network to support its operations. It’s similar to earning interest on a savings account, providing investors with regular rewards for helping to keep the network secure and functioning properly. This makes staking yield an important factor for investors seeking ongoing income from their digital assets.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT), a listed digital asset treasury company and operator of institutional Solana validator infrastructure across Asia-Pacific, today announced its positions on the first three Solana Governance Proposals (SGPs) ahead of on-chain voting expected to open on 22 August 2026:

• FOR — SGP-0001, The Solana Constitution
• AGAINST — SGP-0002, Double Disinflation Rate
• AGAINST — SGP-0003, Resource and Inclusion Fee
  
  

Solana Company supports the new Solana governance system. 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.

The 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 Company

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.

According to Solana Company, institutions value predictable staking yields, which are forecast, disclosed and audited, and it prefers revisiting disinflation once there is evidence of sustained net inflow into SOL.

Why does Solana Company oppose SGP-0003 Resource and Inclusion Fee in the first Solana governance cycle?

Why does Solana Company support SGP-0001, the Solana Constitution, in its HSDT governance announcement?

Solana Company supports SGP-0001 because it views ratifying the Solana Constitution as a key first step. According to Solana Company, the new governance system gives staking participants transparent, stake-weighted votes and lets underlying holders override operators, enabling direct institutional participation in network decisions.

How does Solana Company link its governance votes to institutional adoption of Solana?

Solana Company argues that consistent, predictable economic rules are critical for institutional adoption. According to Solana Company, institutions rarely cite issuance level as a barrier, but instead worry about reliability of network economics over multi-year horizons when assessing validator operations and staking.

How is Solana Company informing delegators about its votes on SGP-0001, SGP-0002 and SGP-0003?

Solana Company is publicly disclosing its planned votes on all three proposals ahead of on-chain voting. According to Solana Company, this advance transparency lets delegators exercise their own vote with full knowledge of their validator operator’s stated governance positions.
