​Solflare Wallet Brings 'Priority' Gas Fees to Solana

Solflare, a wallet on the Solana network, announced on Monday that its users can now pay higher gas fees to muscle through network congestion.

“[Solflare] is the first to implement this in a user-friendly way," Solrise Finance co-founder Vidor Gencel tweeted. “In-wallet transactions will automatically be prioritized with the current market price for fees, ensuring that your transactions are included faster than those in other wallets.”

"Solflare will automatically detect whether the [Solana] network is under load and slightly increase fees to prioritize your transaction over others," the company tweeted separately. "When it matters the most, your transactions will go through and be fast."

Since its launch in 2019, Solana has become a popular blockchain for NFTs and decentralized applications due to its speed and low costs. Still, those benefits have caused the popular network to fall victim to network congestion when it attempts to handle a rush of transactions.
