The Solana Foundation has launched the Kora Relay solution to support fee-free transactions and custom Token Settlement.

【Block Rhythm】The Solana ecosystem welcomes a new infrastructure upgrade. On December 23, the Solana Foundation officially announced the Kora project, which is a fee relay and signature node solution for the Solana network.

Speaking of which, there has long been a lack of a modern and standardized fee payment and remote signing solution in the ecosystem. Although Solana's account model has technically supported such features for a long time, a truly ready-to-use mature solution has never emerged. Kora was born in this context.

In essence, Kora mainly addresses three pain points: first, it completely covers the transaction fees, so users do not need to pay SOL as Gas themselves; second, the choice of fee tokens is flexible, not limited to SOL, and stablecoins or other tokens can be used for settlement; third, it migrates the signing operation to a secure isolated environment, reducing the risk of private key exposure.

After the launch of this trap, it is expected to improve the user experience of the Solana ecosystem, especially for those who are new to on-chain interactions and do not want to be troubled by transaction fees, as the threshold will be significantly lowered.
