Solana2026-08-24 03:09:42Solana validators open voting on constitution, deflation and fee reform proposalsSolana validators have begun voting on three governance proposals that cover the network’s constitutional framework, deflation settings and transaction fee design. According to Techub News, the ballot includes SGP-0001, described as the "Solana Constitution," SGP-0002, which would raise the deflation rate from 15% to 30%, and SGP-0003, aimed at restructuring the transaction fee model. The outcome of the vote will shape key economic parameters on the Solana network and determine the direction of adjustments to its governance framework. The item was attributed to @WuBlockchain.470
Solana2026-08-24 01:29:43Solana opens on-chain voting for SGP-1 to SGP-3, with deadline set for Aug. 26Solana’s official developer account said on-chain voting for governance proposals SGP-1 through SGP-3 has started in epoch 1023 and is scheduled to close at 15:30 UTC on Aug. 26. The three proposals cover core governance and economic changes across the network. SGP-0001 seeks approval of a Solana Constitution to establish a formal governance framework. SGP-0002 would raise the inflation reduction rate from -15% to -30%. SGP-0003 proposes a redesign of transaction fees, splitting them into a fixed inclusion fee and a variable resource fee. Institutional staking participant DFDV said it has already cast the highest-weight vote. At the same time, some users said they were unable to take part because certain staking accounts had not been activated.1260
Solana2026-08-21 15:20:45Solana Company sets voting position on first three Solana governance proposalsSolana treasury firm Solana Company (HSDT) has disclosed how it plans to vote on the first three Solana governance proposals, according to The Wall Street Journal, as cited by ChainCatcher. The company said it supports SGP-0001, titled “Solana Constitution,” while opposing SGP-0002, which would speed up inflation reduction, and SGP-0003, which would change transaction fees from a fixed model to a floating one. Solana Company said its support for the proposed governance framework stems from features that would let stakers vote directly and preserve their right to override votes cast by delegated operators. In the firm’s view, that structure would make it easier for institutions to take part in network governance. On inflation and fee changes, the company said it is not against the broader direction of those proposals. Instead, it believes institutions are still at a critical stage of entering the market, and changes to core economic parameters could affect the stability and predictability of the rules.1400
Solana2026-08-21 15:13:31HSDT backs Solana Constitution, opposes changing inflation and fees nowSOL treasury company Solana Company (HSDT) has laid out its voting stance on the first three Solana Governance Proposals ahead of on-chain voting expected to begin on Aug. 22. The firm said it supports SGP-0001, the "Solana Constitution," while opposing SGP-0002, which would double the pace of inflation reduction, and SGP-0003, which would shift transaction fees from a fixed model to a floating one. HSDT said its objection to the latter two proposals is about timing rather than direction. According to the company, Solana is at a stage where institutions are weighing entry, and those participants place high value on stable and predictable rules. In that context, changing two core economic parameters — inflation and fees — could make still-hesitant institutions more reluctant. HSDT added that it would support reopening discussion on lower inflation after SOL shows sustained net capital inflows, and would also reconsider floating fees once the ecosystem has had time to adapt.1270
Bitcoin2026-08-13 09:45:46Bitcoin user burns 1.6 BTC in fees after RBF script spirals out of controlA Bitcoin user paid 1.6 BTC in transaction fees in block 962,142 even though the actual transfer amount was zero, according to BeInCrypto, in a case tied to an automated script using Replace-by-Fee, or RBF. The report said the script kept raising the fee bid every second, eventually draining the wallet’s full balance. SpiderPool mined the block and collected the unexpected payout. The fee alone accounted for about 88% of the block’s total fees, which were reported at roughly 1.82 BTC. The incident points to how automated transaction management can produce outsized losses when fee logic runs without effective limits, especially in setups that repeatedly rebroadcast transactions under RBF rules.1230
Bitcoin2026-08-13 09:46:54Four Bitcoin transactions burned 1.7715 BTC in fees, accounting for 97.4% of one block’s fee revenueBitcoin block 962,142, confirmed on the evening of Aug. 12, contained four transactions from the same address that turned their entire inputs into miner fees. Together, the four transactions paid 177,153,578 satoshis, or 1.7715 BTC, worth about $113,700 at the time, according to the source material. The block included 4,700 transactions in total and collected 1.8189 BTC in fees, which means those four transfers alone made up 97.4% of the block’s fee income. The block was mined by SpiderPool. Each of the four transactions used the same structure: one input and one zero-value OP_RETURN output, leaving no recipient and no change output. In Bitcoin, fees are defined as the difference between total inputs and total outputs, so the entire input value was effectively handed to the miner. The source also said the highest fee rate among the four reached 1,724,128 sat/vB, compared with a block median of 3 sat/vB. The report added that a prior consolidation transaction in the same block had merged scattered UTXOs from 12 addresses into a 1.6034 BTC amount with a normal fee of 858 satoshis, before the subsequent transactions went wrong.1460
Bitcoin2026-08-09 18:50:38$0.65 Bitcoin Transfer Pays $6,514 in Fees, 35% of Next Block's Available FeesBitcoin News reports that a single Bitcoin transaction has contributed 9.99 million satoshis — about $6,514 — in fees to the next candidate BIP-110 block. The transfer moved only 1,000 satoshis, worth $0.65, while paying 9.999 million satoshis in fees, a rate of 90,081 sat/vB. That is roughly 35% of the current block's available fees, which total 0.29 BTC, or $18,573. The transaction has replace-by-fee (RBF) enabled, meaning it could be replaced before confirmation. Odaily Planet Daily reported the finding.1780
