Solana's Job Is to Sell Computational Resources. Today It Gives Them Away.
Our lead engineer cavey has published the full economic case for SIMD-0553. An entire day of Solana's compute currently sells for as little as 72 SOL, and the paper walks through what that mispricing costs the network: market makers paying $30,000 a year to quote one market, crank searchers extracting a quarter of SOL-USDC arb profit almost for free, and onchain programs with no reason to get faster.
