Messari attributed this improvement to the implementation of priority fees. Implementing priority fees played a crucial role in alleviating the disruption from outages as it increased the cost of spamming the network. By the end of Q1, it was observed that more than 50% of daily fees were paid by users who chose to prioritize their transactions. As of this writing, key components such as the cluster, RPC nodes, explorer, and Solana.com were all fully operational and had maintained this state for the last 90-day period. Solana also experienced a positive development as the weekend concluded with an almost 10% increase in value. However, SOL had faced a significant decline in value over the past year, losing over 50%. Various factors, including network outages, have played a role in contributing to this downtrend in price. | Learn more | | SHIB sees progress as new addresses soar to new ATH | | Finally, Santiment revealed an uptick, showing seven-day active addresses increasing to 20,600, at the time of writing, Despite this, SHIB's weighted sentiment hovered around the negative region, at -0.619.

Warren Davidson. On 28 May, lawmakers unveiled a bill draft that permits raising the debt ceiling after discussions with President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The proposed bill includes a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, enabling the U.S. government to borrow funds and meet its financial obligations, thus preventing an economic catastrophe. President Biden expressed a desire for the deal to incorporate tax hikes for corporations and high-income individuals, but the latest draft indicates that this is unlikely to be included. Following negotiations, President Biden said,
"....The agreement [...] represents a compromise, which means no one got everything they want."
In a tweet, Rep. Davidson highlighted that the bill blocked "proposed taxes," saving miners from an increase in electricity taxes. However, it is important to note that the legislation must first receive approval from Congress before it can be enacted. | | Ledger postpones the launch of its "Recover" service | | A few crypto community members expressed concerns regarding security elements of Ledger's new service Some others opined that the feature may help crypto holders in managing their seed phrases effectively Hardware crypto wallet firm Ledger received strong backlash from the crypto community for introducing its paid "Recover" service.
