That SDK change is actually evidence of coordinated price signaling, not market dynamics.
When the default feeModel starts following a single minerโs policy endpoint, it centralizes pricing and conditions every new app to accept whatever โfloorโ that miner dictates โ effectively setting a cartel rate.
Fees are meant to be offered by users and accepted by miners, not the other way around. If miners reject valid fees while blocks are mostly empty, theyโre literally leaving money on the table.
A 1GB block should hold ~600 million 1 KB transactions. So this isnโt about protecting capacity โ itโs about reshaping the narrative and testing price elasticity.
Thatโs not market discovery. Thatโs coordinated signaling dressed up as โpolicy.โ
