🚨NEW: The @USOCC and @FDICgov are moving to finalize a rule that would define the term “unsafe or unsound practices” in relation to bank supervision. This term has been undefined for years, and has relied on the broad discretion of bank examiners. The rule would require supervisors to tie alleged unsafe or unsound practices to an actual violation of law or material financial risk, making it harder to use vague reputational or procedural concerns to pressure banks over lawful customers, including crypto companies. It marks another significant step toward unwinding “Operation Choke Point 2.0.”
Sgp-3 burn based on requested CUs is basically the same thing as we had a year ago, with 50% of the priority fees burned. Priority is priced per requested CU. If there were no side channel attacks, and 12 different teams weren’t building alternative tpu ports, it’s a super easy way to align incentives. It’s sgp-3 is just a static price per requested CU instead of a dynamic. The starting value is well below the 50% burn we had a year ago. It’s pretty close to the current signature base fee. A lot of complains are about an end state that I think is unrealistic. There is no way the validators will approve a static price that is more than the 50% burn of whatever the priority fees are because that will just take way too much off validator revenues.
