Briefings
A draft proposal suggests Solana will remove its 'durable nonces' transaction feature starting May 5, 2027, requiring custodians to rebuild their offline coin movement protocols. This change affects approximately 270 million dollars in Drift hack funds and could impact over 100,000 users. The proposal is currently in draft form and has not been officially adopted by the Solana Foundation.
Key points
- A draft proposal indicates Solana will remove 'durable nonces' starting May 5, 2027, forcing custodians to rebuild offline coin movement protocols.
- The proposal affects approximately 270 million dollars in Drift hack funds and could impact over 100,000 users.
Context
This finding relates to Solana's recent decision to scrap the transaction feature used in the $270 million Drift hack, as the draft proposal outlines the timeline for this change.
