Members of the Synthetix derivatives protocol community have given the green light to a governance proposal, SIP-2043, which seeks to halt the inflation of the SNX token. 
The latest change paves the way for new strategies, including token buybacks and burns, scheduled for the upcoming Andromeda software release. 
With the end of inflation, stakers on <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/synthetix-network/">Synthetix </a>will no longer need to claim their weekly inflationary token rewards. 
The protocol’s future direction involves utilizing trading fees to facilitate token buybacks and burns. This strategy aims to decrease the token supply by using fees generated within the protocol to purchase and subsequently burn SNX tokens.

The token has also experienced a 65% surge over the past month and an impressive 150% increase over a year. Despite these gains, the token’s value remains 82% lower than its all-time high in February 2021. 
Currently, the Synthetix token has a circulating supply of around 300 million, leading to a fully diluted market capitalization of $1.53 billion.
