Solana (SOL) validators voted in favor of Solana Improvement Document (SIMD)-0096, a proposal to allocate all transaction priority fees to validators for the blocks they produce instead of the previous 50/50 split between burning fees and rewarding validators.
This proposal aims to improve incentives around how validators receive priority fees, enhancing network security and efficiency.
Priority fees are a way to ensure a user’s transaction is placed at the front of the execution ordering queue. Essentially, these are optional fees that a user can add to their transaction to increase inclusion guarantee.
