Solana Fee Reform Sparks Rift as Charles Schwab Adds SOL Trading

Solana's governance cycle has revealed divisions among supporters over proposed changes to its transaction fees.

SGP-0003, a proposal currently under vote, recommends replacing Solana's fixed signature fee with a usage-based fee that charges transactions based on the computation they require.

Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, supports this change but believes it is being implemented in conjunction with other, potentially contentious decisions about how to set fees going forward.

Yakovenko advocates for splitting these two issues into separate proposals, allowing voters to focus on the specific changes they care about.
