The Solana Foundation has introduced a framework for protocol-level governance, opening a formal route for eligible validators to publish new proposals.
Under the framework, validators must have at least 100,000 delegated SOL to submit a proposal. The threshold places proposal publication in the hands of validators with a substantial level of delegated stake.
The launch adds a defined governance mechanism at the protocol level, clarifying who can bring forward proposals within the Solana ecosystem.
The available announcement does not specify how proposals will be reviewed, voted on or implemented. It also does not detail whether additional participation requirements apply beyond the delegated-SOL threshold.
