SOL Solana (SOL) developers propose resource-oriented fee reform: increase token destruction and optimize transaction costs
Solana (SOL) developers have proposed a proposal to replace some network fixed transaction fees with a fee structure based on resource consumption. The plan aims to differentiated pricing for high-load activities and increase the amount of token destruction.
Core Points
Solana currently charges a base fee of 5000 lamport per signature transaction, half of which is used for destruction and the other half as a reward for the verifier. Draft SIMD-0553 proposes to introduce a validator inclusion fee of 2500 ramport, as well as a separate resource fee for full destruction. Under this model, lightweight transaction costs may be reduced, while the costs of resource-intensive activities will increase significantly.
Details of Solana's fee proposal
Currently, Solana charges a base fee of 5000 Ramport for each signature transaction, of which 50% is destroyed and 50% is paid to the block production verifier. Priority fees are calculated separately, and according to the SIMD-0096 scheme, all of these fees belong to the verifier.
The new solution is reflected in draft SIMD-0553, which stems from a community discussion launched in May 2024. It would replace the current fixed signature fee for destruction with a fee based on request computation, account data, write locks and other scheduling costs.
Under the proposal, verifiers would receive a fixed inclusion fee of 2500 Ramport, while the network would have a full resource destruction fee. The draft plans to be priced in three stages: the requested computing unit is priced at 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 ramport respectively. The draft has not yet taken effect.
Impact on SOL Destruction
Proposal authors believe that the current fee structure fails to reflect the actual load on the network per transaction. A simple operation may pay the same base fee as a computation-intensive exchange transaction, resulting in underpricing of some high-demand transactions.
Their analysis based on network data in May 2024 shows that about 1500 to 9000 SOLs can be destroyed per day by phased resource fees, while the current destruction volume based on signature fees is about 648 SOLs per day. The actual total will depend on network activity, requested resources and final rates.
User costs will differ significantly. The draft estimates that the cost of an optimized voting transaction may be reduced by 12.3%, while the cost of a zero-priority-fee exchange transaction analyzed by the author may soar by 3150% due to the request for resources determining the new fee.
This reform continues Solana's overall direction of building a clear fee incentive mechanism. SIMD-0096 allocates the entire priority fee to verifiers, while SIMD-0553 retains this revenue source while allowing the base fee to reflect network needs through an independent destruction mechanism.
