Solana has implemented on-chain governance, setting the entry threshold at staking 100,000 SOL tokens.
According to Foresight News , CoinDesk reports that Solana has enabled on-chain governance. Its GitHub repository shows that the system, for the first time, grants its validators and token holders the right to directly and documentedly vote on the network's future. Submitting a proposal requires staking 100,000 SOL (approximately $7.7-7.8 million based on an SOL price of $77-78). A proposal needs 15% active staking support to enter the voting stage, and two-thirds of the staking votes are required for passage. The results are recorded on-chain. This system empowers delegators, ordinary users who stake their SOL with validators instead of running nodes and collecting staking rewards themselves. Delegators can now overturn validator votes or cast their own vote if a validator abstains, with all votes weighted by the delegator's own stake. The Solana Foundation calls this "stakeholder sovereignty," aiming to retain true voting power in the hands of the actual token holders, rather than entirely relinquishing it to the validators they delegate to.
