Solana's fairer trade ordering proposal stalls as SIMD-0649 closes without merge
- —SIMD-0649 closed on Sept. 25 without merging, so no ordering rule took effect
- —The check would have covered only within-batch ordering, not slot-wide priority
- —Leaders retain discretion to select transactions, defer them and set batch boundaries
- —Each batch except the final one would have needed at least 64 data shreds (two FEC sets)
Why it matters: The proposal would not have solved MEV or preferential treatment: leaders still decide which orders make it into a block.
