What happened: The Solana Foundation has officially rolled out a new governance framework at the protocol level. This system empowers validators holding at least 100,000 delegated SOL to publish proposal drafts. To move forward, a proposal must secure a minimum of 15% cluster support before advancing to a formal stake-weighted voting process, which requires a two-thirds (66.67%) majority to pass.
Why it matters: This is a significant structural step toward more mature network management. By implementing on-chain governance, Solana is strengthening its decentralization and providing a transparent, data-driven method for protocol evolution. For the community and investors, this represents a shift toward a more organized and stable ecosystem.
