Solana Staking Snapshot Points to a Net Reward Rate Near 5%

Solana (SOL) staking implied annualized rewards near 5% after validator fees in a late-October network snapshot, though the estimate changes with the amount staked and each validator’s performance and commission. The snapshot, recorded Saturday, Oct. 24, at 10:33 p.m. ET (Oct. 25 at 2:33 a.m. UTC), showed a 3.59% inflation rate and 437.2 million SOL in activated stake out of 636.4 million SOL in total supply. That puts about 68.7% of supply in stake. Dividing the displayed inflation rate by the staked share implies about 5.23% gross annualized rewards.
