Solana Foundation has introduced Solana Governance Proposals (SGPs), enabling validators with at least 100,000 SOL staked to propose and move major network direction questions into stake-weighted onchain votes. A proposal requires support from 15% of active stake to enter a formal voting period, which lasts 11 epochs, and passes if two-thirds of votes are in favor. This system allows validators to influence high-level network decisions before detailed technical changes are made, complementing existing Solana Improvement Documents. The launch coincides with ongoing upgrades like Alpenglow, aiming to improve network speed and efficiency, and offers a clearer governance path for future protocol directions.
