In this episode of Galaxy Brains, Alex Thorn speaks with Zack Pokorny, Galaxy Research Associate, about MESA, Galaxy Research’s first-ever governance proposal. Designed to reduce Solana inflation through a more democratic voting framework, the proposal introduces multiple voting options rather than a binary outcome. Zack unpacks the motivation behind the proposal, compares it to SIMD-228, and explores how token emissions shape lending, staking, and yield dynamics across DeFi. Plus, Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) joins to discuss volatile market action amid tariff uncertainty, shifting global sentiment, and signs of policy indecision.
