Solanas fee overhaul increases burn and makes resource hogs pay

Solana is preparing to change how it charges for computing resources on the network.　　Solana Improvement Document (SIMD-0553) would make its most resource-intensive users pay more while cutting the costs for simpler transactions. As a bonus, it would increase SOLs burn rate in stages — and one day could even help make it deflationary.　　Cavey, a researcher at Solana infrastructure firm Temporal and author of the proposal, tells Magazine that fees currently dont reflect the real costs:　　“If I submit a transaction that does nothing versus a transaction that burns 200 million CPU cycles, Im charged the same amount.”　　This proposal would change that by tying fees more closely to the resources each transaction requests. Rather than going to validators, the resource fee would be burned, removing SOL from circulation.　　Of course, reducing validator income has not been welcomed by all. Contributor bji argues on github:　　“I like the aspect of this proposal that gives tx submitters extra incentive to be accurate with CU limits. Everything else I‘m meh to negative on. ’More burn should not be a goal. Validator incomes should not be arbitrarily reduced.”　　SIMD-0553 entered Solanas new onchain governance process in early August and cleared its initial support phase on August 4.　　It is currently

Strategy says MSCI should measure markets, not dictate corporate assets

SummaryStrategy criticized MSCI‘s proposed “non-operating company” rules, which could exclude it from the index provider’s global equity indexes.The company said the new proposal repeats the problems of MSCIs earlier digital asset-specific plan and unfairly penalizes companies for holding bitcoin.　　Strategy (MSTR) has pushed back against MSCI‘s proposed methodology for identifying “non-operating companies,” which could result in the largest bitcoin treasury company being removed from the index provider’s global equity indexes.　　Strategy said on X, “Digital assets are assets. Index providers should measure markets, not decide which assets companies are allowed to own,” Strategy said. “MSCI‘s proposal puts it out of step with regulators, markets, and its own customers. Bitcoin doesn’t need MSCI. Neither does Strategy.”　　The replaces an earlier proposal focused specifically on companies with significant digital asset holdings. Applying the new financial-ratio screen using May 2026 data would have resulted in the removal of Strategy, Metaplanet and uranium holder Yellow Cake from the MSCI ACWI IMI.　　The response follows Strategy‘s formal objection in December 2025 to MSCI’s previous proposal, which would have excluded companies whose digital assets represented at least 50% of total assets.　　Strategy argued at the time that it is an operating company, not an investment fund or passive bitcoin vehicle, pointing
