Track Overview

This track is for the best research on Solana fee markets. Some ideas to get you started:

• Priority Fees (Benefits & Shortcomings)

• Dynamic Base Fees

• CU pricing

• Dedicated blockspace for certain transactions (eg. votes)

• Proposed fee models and their pros/cons (for example, how does a dynamic base fee affect use cases like payments or CLOBs)

• MEV (Jito)

• New scheduler

A comprehensive post covering all points above, a deep-dive on one or two specific ones, as well as the author's own ideas are all acceptable. The author is free to tackle in any manner, analyzing data, covering SIMD's and their pros/cons, tradeoffs to certain mechanisms, etc.

The winner will receive a year of Delphi Pro ($5k value) and potentially be featured on our portal as well which is read by the top investors and builders in the industry.

Reward:

• 1st Prize: Delphi Pro Membership ($5k value)
