0.1 lamport/cost unit sounds cheap, but a 600% increase in costs for regular users is really unbearable; market makers, on the other hand, are enjoying it.

BlockBeats reports that Solana developer cavemanloverboy proposed SIMD 547, aiming to improve the SOL economy by charging a basic resource consumption fee and burning it in full: each transaction would cost 0.1 lamport/cost unit and be burned. Currently, the daily burn is about 648 SOL, far below the inflation rate of 60,000 SOL per day. If implemented, the daily burn would increase to approximately 1,500–1,800 SOL, market maker fees would decrease by 3–5%, and ordinary user transaction costs would rise significantly, with scenario increases potentially exceeding 600%. This mechanism needs to be enabled after the Alpenglow upgrade and is still under community discussion.
