NEAR is cutting inflation from X% → 2.5%.

It’s a major shift in how value flows in the ecosystem. Here's why it matters 👇

The issue:
60M new NEAR minted yearly, but only ~0.1% burned.
In result:
⬜️ Holder dilution
⬜️ Supply pressure
⬜️ Weak alignment with real usage

The fix:
A proposal slashes max inflation to 2.5%, bringing effective inflation closer to 2.4%. A move toward sustainable, usage-based issuance.

Why it benefits for users:
⚪️ Less dilution → more value per token
⚪️ Lower staking yields → more NEAR in DeFi
⚪️ Predictable model → stronger investor confidence

Still secure?
Yes. Validator rewards remain.
Staking APY adjusts. Yields are higher with fewer stackers. The network stays safe.

Why now?
High inflation slows growth.
NEAR is scaling fast with:
⬜️ Intents
⬜️ AI agent infra
⬜️ Expanding DeFi

Time to align tokenomics with product momentum.
