A Solana developer has proposed eliminating the durable nonces transaction feature, which allows signed transactions to remain valid for extended periods. In April this year, attackers exploited it to steal at least $270 million from the Drift trading protocol.

Proposal SIMD-0723 was submitted by Anza’s Gabe Rodriguez on November 5. It is still a draft and requires technical approval; it could take effect on mainnet as early as May 5, 2027. Custodians and exchanges that rely on offline signing will need to migrate to an alternative.
