💥 The NEAR community is stepping up.
It’s time for YOU to act — and help govern NEAR.
HOT DAO & Linear Protocol have submitted their first proposal on the governance forum 🔽
Proposal: Reduce NEAR’s inflation rate from 5% → 2.5%
Goal: Support long-term sustainability & improve ecosystem alignment
🧾 Read the proposal. If you're a validator, cast your vote (for/against) on behalf of your stakers here.
⏳ Voting ends 31 July 23:59 UTC
📝 Once House of Stake is fully operational, it will regularly conduct reviews on NEAR’s inflation and vote to adjust it if necessary.
