      description: >
        Retrieve current Solana network inflation rate and its distribution
        allocation.

        This tokenomics API provides details about the blockchain's monetary
        policy, 

        showing the current annual inflation rate and how newly created SOL
        tokens are

        distributed between validators (as staking rewards) and the Solana
        Foundation.

        Solana employs a disinflationary monetary policy, where inflation
        gradually decreases

        over time from its initial rate until reaching a long-term stable rate.
        Essential for

        financial analysts, economic researchers, staking calculators, yield
        projection tools,

        and applications that need to incorporate Solana's inflation model into
        revenue forecasts

        or token supply projections.
