Solana Fee Overhaul: Higher Costs for Heavy Use, More SOL Burned

The shift marks a move toward pricing network resources more explicitly, making heavy users bear a larger share of costs while easing the burden on simple activity. That distinction matters for high-frequency and composable applications, which have driven much of Solana's activity, and for the validators and users who ultimately absorb the change. The open question is whether the burn increase and fee differentiation meaningfully alter usage patterns or simply redistribute costs across the same participants.
