Solana developers are moving to scrap durable nonces, the technical feature exploited in the $270 million Drift Protocol hack last April. While standard transactions on $SOL expire in about 30 seconds, these nonces allowed signed instructions to remain valid indefinitely. Attackers used this to let pre-signed transactions sit for over a week before draining the platform.
The proposal, SIMD-0723, was filed on November 5 and aims to shut down the feature no earlier than May 5, 2027. This change hits a small but profitable group. Only 555 accounts sent 97.5% of these transactions in June, yet they accounted for 30% of all priority fees on the network. Custodians using air-gapped signing will now have to migrate to on-chain programs like Anza’s Programmatic Signer.
