Solana is moving to phase out durable nonces, a feature allowing signed transactions to remain valid indefinitely, after it was exploited in April 2026 to drain at least $270 million from the Drift decentralized exchange. The attack involved a six-month social engineering campaign targeting Drift's Security Council, enabling attackers to execute pre-signed transactions that transferred admin control and emptied reserves. The Solana Foundation proposes replacing durable nonces with onchain programmatic signer methods to enhance security while preserving offline signing workflows. Drift has rebranded as Velocity and emphasized improving operational security, highlighting that the breach was due to human process vulnerabilities rather than smart contract flaws. Investors should watch for audit results and migration plans as the network transitions away from durable nonces.
