The SIMD-0553 proposal, merged on July 20, 2026, would restructure Solana’s fee model by replacing the current flat fee of 5,000 lamports with two components: a 2,500-lamport inclusion fee going to validators and a new compute-based resource fee that is entirely burned. This overhaul would increase daily SOL burns 12 to 14 times, jumping from roughly 650 SOL (about $47,000) to a range of 7,500 to 9,000 SOL (up to $650,000). Combined with SIMD-0550, which would double the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, the measure would reduce SOL issuance by approximately 18.9 million over six years, equivalent to roughly $1.5 billion at current prices. The governance threshold of 15% of staked supply must be reached by August 18, 2026 to advance to a full vote.
