Would like clarification on this matter:
The halving cut emissions from 15M solana:hntyVP6YFm1Hg25TN9WGLqM12b8TQmcknKrdu1oxWux/year to 7.5M HNT/year in August 2025. Then HIP-149 proposes a new capped mint of roughly 141M
$HNT over 36 months, with about half issued in the first year.
@heliumโs own proposal page explicitly states that this increases
$HNT supply and is intended to fund operations, carrier expansion, deployer programs, and network growth.
The math is what has people upset:
Current circulating supply is roughly ~195M
$HNT.
HIP-149 would authorize ~141M additional
$HNT.
Thatโs about 72% of the current circulating supply according to the proposal discussion.
So the question isโฆ
โWhy have a halving to reduce inflation if youโre going to authorize 141M new
$HNT?โ
