A significant governance proposal by HotDAO aims to reduce NEAR Protocol's inflation rate from 5% to 2.5%. This potential change could impact:
- Network economics and token value
- Builder incentives and ecosystem growth
- Long-term sustainability
The proposal is currently under discussion on the NEAR governance forum.
