Solana's biggest consensus upgrade went live on mainnet on Oct 21. It replaces TowerBFT, the system Solana has used since 2020, and cuts finality to well under a second. Validator votes also move off-chain, so validators no longer pay fees on every vote.
2ïžâŁ Treasuries keep buying
DeFi Development Corp added another 5,346 SOL this week. Its total is now about 2.6 million SOL.
3ïžâŁ Bug reports now cost 1 SOL
Security teams were getting flooded with AI-generated spam reports, so submitting a bug report now costs 1 SOL. Spammers now have to pay to waste people's time.
Meanwhile the price is quiet: $SOL is sitting right around 100, down about 5% on the week.
Do upgrades like this matter for price, or only for builders? đ
