The SGP-003 community divide around the governance proposal is widening. The proposal proposes to charge procedural fees based on transactional resource consumption, which the proponents believe will help to increase the long-term value of the network and increase the destruction of $SOL, while opponents fear that the costs of chain applications, especially complex financial applications, will increase.
Yakovenko expressed support
After a period of debate, the co-founder of Solana Labs, Anatoly Yakovenko, publicly supported SGP-003. He indicated that, if implemented at the initial rate in the simulation, i.e. 1amport per 10 computing units, the proposal “manifestly should have voted in favour”.
In Yakovenko ' s view, the additional US$SOL destruction at this rate is approximately the same scale as the current level of destruction, and the share of net network revenue remains small.
However, it is also mentioned that 1 lamport/10 CUs is just the beginning level. The cost of follow-up resources is likely to rise to a maximum of 1 mport per 2 computing units, approximately five times the initial level.
Simulation results are uneven
The Solara Native Research and Development Agency, Ghost Logs, recently released a simulation panel to assess the impact of SGP-003 landings. The results show that the impact of resource costs on different types of applications is not consistent.
According to the simulation, there is a marked difference in the impact of the trade or consumer-type applications of Jupiter, Pumpfun, Phoenix and Prop AMM, which are considered to support a trade on the Solana chain. Proponents therefore believe that resource costs may increase the efficiency of spot transactions in part of the chain.
In addition to Yakovenko, ecological participants such as Blue Shift, Firedancer Development and Hylo publicly supported the proposal.
DeFi application concentrated against
Objections came mainly from application developers. Some developers described the proposal as “harmful” or “irregular” and considered it as a disincentive to innovation in the chain.
Raydium has voted against SGP-003. This is justified by the fact that increasing the cost of doing business on the chain may, in the long run, lead to a return to the chain of transactions. Ellipsis Labs Chief Executive Officer Eugene Chen shares the same view. He stated that the application of Solana DeFi, Phoenix, Manifest, Raydium and others, to the general opposition to resource fees, was in itself an indication that the proposal was not necessarily in ecological interest.
Vibhu Norby of Solana Foundation also pointed out that resource fees could place an additional burden on more advanced financial originals, such as sustainable contracts, options and forecast markets. Even if simulations show that some spot market structures may benefit, extended space for complex applications may be compressed.
The turnout is over 87%.
Despite the strong opposition of the developers, the current vote is clearly biased towards the supporters. More than two days before the polls ended, more than 87 per cent of voters supported SGP-003.
The SGP-002, which was promoted during the same period, received close support. The proposal is to double the deinflation rate of $SOL and reduce the issuance of tokens. Some certifiers, however, objected to SGP-002 on the grounds that it would put more pressure on small operators.
It is noteworthy that there was a marked reversal in the last phase of the governance vote in Solana. The previous SIMD-0228 proposal on the distribution rate of $SOL had been rewritten by changes in voting near the deadline. The final outcome of SGP-003 therefore remains to be confirmed at the final stage.
