Solana Foundation Launches Validator Governance Framework for On-Chain Voting
Summary
Solana Foundation launched a new protocol-level validator governance framework for on-chain voting. Under the framework, validators with at least 100,000 delegated SOL can publish proposal drafts, and proposals move to stake-weighted voting after reaching 15% cluster support. Final passage requires a two-thirds majority. This is a governance addition, not a complete fork of Solana validator software. The development is notable because it comes from official governance sources and adds a concrete protocol-level process that could shape future network decision-making. It should be treated as a confirmed structural change in governance rather than a direct signal of price action or a broad market shift.
