Solana developers proposed retiring the durable nonces transaction feature exploited in the $270 million Drift protocol hack. CoinDesk reported that the proposal, filed by Anza, would require transactions to use recent blockhashes instead to prevent similar security vulnerabilities.
The proposed change by Anza would not take effect before May 5, 2027, if approved. While the move is intended to harden the network's security architecture, it will require technical re-engineering for custodians to adapt to the removal of the feature.
