Reduced Inflation Rate and Removal of Automatic Treasury Donations
On October 20th, 2025, it was announced that the on-chain vote for the Network Treasury and Inflation Adjustments proposal (ID #25) had concluded successfully. The proposal was approved by Particl stakers with a 100% approval rate and a 63.20% quorum.
This proposal, which sought to remove automatic staking donations to the network treasury and reduce the network's coin emission to a healthier 3.5% annual rate (decreasing by 0.5% per year until stabilizing at 1%), takes effect on February 1st, 2026, at 12:00:00 UTC.
As such, it is mandatory to download and run the new hardfork-ready core releases to ensure you are staking on a compatible version when the hardfork occurs.
