Step 1 of SIMD-0437 activated at epoch 1028, the first of five feature gates on the road to cutting Solana's storage cost per byte by 90% overall. Step 1 drops lamports per byte 6,960 → 6,333. Each remaining gate activates only after state growth checks out at the current level. We are stepping down to the final 696 safely, not on a fixed schedule. Follow here for an accurate timeline. A safeguard gate (SIMD-0438) can restore the legacy value if state growth becomes a problem." --- ## Contributing Accounts - `@wavesprotocol` (https://x.com/wavesprotocol)
