Solflare, the wallet for the Solana network, announced on Monday that it will now allow users to pay muscle higher gas prices via network congestion.
“[Solflare] We are the first company to implement this in a user-friendly way, said Vidor Gencel, co-founder of Solrise Finance. murmuredIn-wallet transactions will automatically be prioritized at the current market price of fees, ensuring that transactions are completed faster than other in-wallet transactions.
Solflare [Solana] Our network is under load and we are increasing our fees slightly to prioritize transactions over others,” the company tweeted separately.

Last summer, Solana Labs introduced The variable gas rate to the network described by the company is a “neighborhood rate” approach that does not impact the wider network. Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said at the time that the model was meant to avoid charging users high fees across the network when traffic was high.
Priority fees also help make the blockchain network more stable by preventing users from hitting the Solana network with repeated transactions in the hope that one of them will succeed.
According to Gencel, users of other wallets may not be able to trade during periods of high network traffic due to lack of proper prioritization.
Its worth noting that the state of Solana is quarantined, said co-founder and CEO Mert Mumtaz.

Solflare says priority pricing is already enabled for its apps on the web, browser extensions, in-wallet transactions with mobile, and its soon-to-be-launched app.
