NEAR Forum Proposal Would Reduce Issuance Over 24 Months

A discussion-stage proposal would lower maximum annual issuance from 2.5% to 1.6% gradually; fixed supply is a longer-term direction, not the current vote.

A September 30 NEAR Governance Forum post proposes reducing maximum annual issuance from 2.5% to 1.6% through gradual epoch-by-epoch changes over 24 months. It would retain the existing 90% validator and 10% treasury split and describes a 90-day validator-upgrade grace period after governance approval.

The post is a discussion before a House of Stake vote and validator adoption; it is not an enacted monetary change. Its references to a future fixed total supply describe a longer-term direction, not this proposal. Lower issuance could reduce new supply and staking yield together, while security and validator participation remain implementation questions.
