Instant conclusion: Solana mainnet rent step two has been implemented. The per-byte deposit has dropped from 6333 to 5080 lamports. Compared with the initial 6960, this is an overall reduction of about 27%.
Following SIMD-0437 (about 90% cut in five steps): Step 1, 9/3 is already live; Step 2 goes into effect around 2026-09-11 21:15 UTC, epoch 1033. Current-network RPC verification: the minimum balance for a 0-byte account is 650240 lamports, which is exactly 128 × 5080. The extra deposit can be retrieved via the official reference WithdrawExcessLamports; it is not automatically credited. Future steps 3–5 depend on status growth—there is no fixed calendar. If anything is abnormal, you can roll back using SIMD-0438.
