Solana weighs cutting feature exploited in $270m DeFi hack

Solana is weighing a proposal filed November 5 to remove durable nonces, which let signed transactions stay valid far beyond the usual roughly 30-second window. Attackers used that feature in April's attack on Drift, a Solana-based trading protocol, holding pre-signed transactions for more than a week before draining at least US$270 million on April 1. The draft says the change will not be activated before May 5, 2027, and the proposal still needs sign-off from engineers at Anza and Firedancer before it can be merged.
