74.6% of Solana Staked as 18 Validators Hold Blocking Minority
- —438.97M of 588.7M circulating SOL are staked — 74.6%
- —18 of 674 validators hold the one-third blocking threshold
- —3.6117% inflation at 74.6% staked implies 4.84% gross yield
- —Median validator commission of 5% leaves 4.60% net yield
Why it matters: Heavy staking shrinks free-floating SOL supply and amplifies volatility, while stake concentration among 18 validators poses a network risk.
