Solana (SOL) Rent Costs vs Compressed Account Indexes: @deanmlittle Shares Stakeholder Critiques and 5 Actionable Alternatives
According to @deanmlittle, infrastructure providers object to adding gigabytes of new indexes and extra maintenance for the coldest on-chain data when existing indexing already works, calling the proposal a poor fit for operators (source: @deanmlittle on X, Oct 29, 2025). He reports core developers say a $150 NVMe drive delivers roughly 200k random IOPS and view compressed account indexing as a non-solution to a non-problem based on current hardware capabilities (source: @deanmlittle on X, Oct 29, 2025). He adds application developers deem cNFT indexing still unreliable and reject reverting to complex Rent calculations, labeling the approach a bad idea for developer experience (source: @deanmlittle on X, Oct 29, 2025). The primary counterpoint he cites from commercialization teams is that Rent blocks deployments because opening a token account costs about $0.20, pushing some projects to centralized alternatives like AWS (source: @deanmlittle on X, Oct 29, 2025). As trading-relevant alternatives, he proposes reevaluating the seriousness of these users, promoting existing state compression, relaxing UpgradeableLoader constraints to subsidize program deployments, gauging appetite for a modest Rent reduction, and adding BLS12-381 to verify Alpenglow consensus onchain and enable L1-verifiable sequencers on centralized infra while keeping mainnet economics unchanged (source: @deanmlittle on X, Oct 29, 2025). He references the ongoing discussion in Solana Foundation SID PR #389 (source: Solana Foundation, solana-improvement-documents PR #389). |
