Solana's 90% rent reduction is being described as “Solana gets cheaper.”

That's true.

But there's a more interesting consequence:

old accounts keep their old SOL deposit.

That creates a finite pool of reclaimable SOL that gets more economically significant as new accounts become 10× cheaper.

I dug into SIMD-0437 and ran the numbers ↓

I wrote the whole v1 migration up when it was announced — wire format, the RPC failures, the indexer bugs, Geyser, and the fee-unit change:

If you're building on Solana, transaction v1 is a breaking change you should prepare for.

Solana is moving from 1,232 → 4,096 bytes per transaction.

The bigger change isn't the size.

It's the new transaction format — and what it means for code that reads, indexes, streams, or analyzes transactions.

Solana's transaction v1 is supposedly landing Tuesday. The gate isn't queued yet, so I'd hold that thought.

But the migration is worth doing today either way. One line:

maxSupportedTransactionVersion: 1

Miss it and getTransaction, getBlock and blockSubscribe start returning -32015. That's the loud failure.

The quiet one is priority fees changing unit — v0 counts micro-lamports per CU, v1 counts total lamports. Nothing errors. The numbers just go wrong.

@KennyLoaded @fabioberger123 I have the exact same issue, and I really don't think a paid vouch — "I found someone" — helps protect users. A lot of developers like us, doing simple instructions like closing ATA accounts, which most of the time requires multiple transactions, face the same gate. It gives me the impression that @phantom really doesn't support developers.

Anyway, I think trusting a domain isn't really better than trusting a set of instructions. If you trusted the instruction instead of the domain, there would be more security for users — even a newly vouched person couldn't change their mind.

It's really frustrating to work on something with passion and lose all of that to a vouch gate that blocks me, and the development of @solana.

More of your SOL stops being locked tonight.

Step 2 of Solana's rent cut, around 21:12 UTC: 6,333 → 5,080 lamports per byte. Since step 1 on Sep 4 the requirement is down 27%.

Nothing gets sent to you. The chain just stops requiring it — and it sits in your accounts until you close them.

Transaction V1 activation on mainnet-beta is moving to the start of epoch 1035, expected Sept 15 at ~1:20 AM UTC.

Teams across the ecosystem told us they needed more time to test and integrate V1 support. We listened.

How to get ready:

- V1 is live on devnet, test your integration now.

- Compute budgets in V1 are set using a new transaction config. Compute budget instructions still work on legacy and V0 but no-op in V1.

- App developers: even if you don't plan to send V1 transactions, some changes may impact your app. Review the guide below.

There's a date going around for Solana's new transaction format. September 9th.

That's a target, not a timestamp. Solana feature gates switch at fixed epoch boundaries ~38 hours apart — the next is around 17:10 UTC today, then Thursday morning.

So September 9th isn't a guaranteed activation time. And the feature isn't scheduled on-chain yet.

If you send transactions, nothing changes.

If you read them — bots, indexers, dashboards, anything counting fees — that's what breaks. And some of it breaks quietly.

Once it is scheduled, you may get only a day and a half of notice.

@Bigkhaos001 your wallet is pretty clean

[xRoot @xrootdev]

Solana's rent cut went live this week. Step 1 of 5: 6,960 → 6,333 lamports per byte.

Nothing was refunded automatically. The chain lowered what your accounts must hold and left the difference sitting there.

On a live account that surplus is ~0.0002 SOL. Small.
On a dead one you get the whole deposit back — ~0.002 SOL. 10× more.

300 dead memecoin accounts: ~0.6 SOL.

@nick_pennie p95 under 30ms is insane

[xRoot @xrootdev]

@SolanaHub_ Can’t see the other way, so Solana it is ☀️

[xRoot @xrootdev]

@solshan_ @solincinerator you might have some if you've old open accounts (even tokens you currently holding)
you can verify here https://t.co/f0dCQr6dru

[xRoot @xrootdev]

@solana_devs And for the non-technical folks, I built a simple way to do this too.

@codefun_xyz On point 👌

A regulated fund token and a honeypot can have the exact same on-chain shape.

Token-2022.
Default-frozen accounts.
Active freeze authority.

Every scanner I tested sees “honeypot”.

One is a regulated French fund.

So how do you tell them apart? 🧵

[xRoot @xrootdev]

One important warning:

Token ACL proves the freeze mechanism — not that the token is safe.

The issuer may still have powers like pause, permanent delegate, or burn.

For a regulated fund, that can be the product.
For an anonymous team, it is still a red flag.

I shipped this check in xroot’s free audit.

Audit: https://t.co/Cqg86JnqeC
Breakdown: https://t.co/hBgXk47Q7V

[xRoot @xrootdev]

The check I use:

1. Is the mint default-frozen?
2. Who owns the freeze-authority account?
→ It should be the Token ACL program.
3. What gate does the metadata declare?

Structure without the claim can still be verifiably permissioned.
