Solana

The Solana community has voted to allocate 100% of priority fees to network validators through the SIMD-0096 proposal. With 77% support, validators will now receive all fees from users who want faster transaction processing. This is a change from the previous 50/50 split with token burning.

Solana’s co-founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, stated that this update could enable stake pools with programmatically frozen tokens to obtain all tips and priority fees, enhancing rewards for validators responsible for network reliability and performance. However, the change will take several months to implement, as subsequent releases like 1.17 and 1.18 will include this feature alongside other enhancements. 
Some members and validators have raised concerns over potential inflationary pressures resulting from rewarding validators with fees instead of burning tokens. Stakewiz, a validator, predicted a 4.6% boost in token expansion and recommended a gradual activation alongside SIMD-0123 to <a href="https://x.com/laine_sa_/status/1788840325819388034" target="_blank">reduce</a> adverse financial effects. 
Amidst this development, the Solana (SOL) price has seen a bullish shift, trading at <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$170.02</a>, a 4.48 % surge in 24 hours.
