 Solana’s crypto-economic system is designed to promote a healthy, long term self-sustaining economy with participant incentives aligned to the security and decentralization of the network. The main participants in this economy are validation-clients. Their contributions to the network, state validation, and their requisite incentive mechanisms are discussed below.

-Validator-clients are eligible to charge commission on inflationary rewards distributed to staked tokens. This compensation is for providing compute \(CPU+GPU\) resources to validate and vote on a given PoH state. These protocol-based rewards are determined through an algorithmic disinflationary schedule as a function of total token supply. The network is expected to launch with an annual inflation rate around 8%, set to decrease by 15% per year until a long-term stable rate of 1.5% is reached, however these parameters are yet to be finalized by the community. These issuances are to be split and distributed to participating validators, with around 95% of the issued tokens allocated for validator rewards initiall (the remaining 5% reserved for Foundation operating expenses). Because the network will be distributing a fixed amount of inflation rewards across the stake-weighted validator set, the yield observed for staked tokens will be primarily a function of the amount of staked tokens in relation to the total token supply.

 Additionally, validator clients may earn revenue through fees via state-validation transactions. For clarity, we separately describe the design and motivation of these revenue distributions for validation-clients below: state-validation protocol-based rewards and state-validation transaction fees and rent.

 In this case, because _% of Staked SOL_ is a parameter that must be estimated (unlike the _Inflation Schedule_ parameters), it is easier to use specific _Inflation Schedule_ parameters and explore a range of _% of Staked SOL_.

+As mentioned above, the network's _Inflation Schedule_ is uniquely described by three parameters: _Initial Inflation Rate_, _Disinflation Rate_ and _Long-term Inflation Rate_. When considering these numbers, there are many factors to take into account:
 
 - A large portion of the SOL issued via inflation will be distributed to stake-holders in proportion to the SOL they have staked. We want to ensure that the _Inflation Schedule_ design results in reasonable _Staking Yields_ for token holders who delegate SOL and for validation service providers (via commissions taken from _Staking Yields_).
 - The primary driver of _Staked Yield_ is the amount of SOL staked divided by the total amount of SOL (% of total SOL staked). Therefore the distribution and delegation of tokens across validators are important factors to understand when determining initial inflation parameters.

 These parameters define the proposed _Inflation Schedule_. Below we show implications of these parameters. These plots only show the impact of inflation issuances given the Inflation Schedule as parameterized above. They _do not account_ for other factors that may impact the Total Supply such as fee/rent burning, slashing or other unforeseen future token destruction events. Therefore, what is presented here is an **upper limit** on the amount of SOL issued via inflation.
