Solana Proposal Aims to Reduce Account Rent Costs

According to BlockBeats, Brennan Watt, Vice President of Core Engineering at Anza, discussed a proposal at the Solana Breakpoint conference that could significantly reduce account rent costs on the Solana network. The proposal, SIMD-0389, suggests lowering the account creation rent by tenfold, with the potential to expand this reduction to a hundredfold. Account rent on the Solana network refers to the storage fee required for an account to permanently store data on the blockchain. Anza's analysis of the security deceleration mechanism indicates that this change was discussed at the recent SolanaConf. It could lead to the recovery of billions of dormant SOL, facilitating broader adoption while maintaining network security.
