Solana moves to scrap the transaction feature used in the $270 million Drift hack

Solana developers propose retiring durable nonce transactions, a feature that lets signed transactions stay valid for weeks instead of expiring after about 30 seconds. Attackers used pre-signed approvals held for more than a week to drain at least $270 million from Drift on April 1; Drift later blamed a North Korean state-affiliated group. The proposal SIMD-0723 was filed Nov. 5 by Anza's Gabe Rodriguez, with a earliest activation date of May 5, 2027, and needs sign-off from engineers at Anza and Firedancer.
