Solana price was quoted at USD 79.92 at 17:32 UTC on November 13, 2026, equivalent to 18:32 in Berlin. The timestamp falls within the configured publication window. The quote is supplied by Perplexity Finance. No daily percentage comparison is included here because the available quote does not identify the preceding UTC day close.
Protocol change remains in development
The main network-related development in the recent Solana cycle is a proposal to retire durable nonces. CoinDesk reported that Anza developer Gabe Rodriguez filed SIMD-0723 on November 5. The draft would require every transaction to carry a recent blockhash, replacing a mechanism that can keep a signed transaction valid beyond the normal blockhash window.
According to CoinDesk, the proposal says the change would not activate on mainnet-beta before May 5, 2027. The draft remains subject to technical approval from Anza and the Firedancer team. That makes the measure a development-stage protocol proposal rather than an active network rule.
What the proposal changes
Durable nonces were designed for delayed or offline signing. They can be useful to custodians and exchanges whose approval processes operate on air-gapped systems, where signatures may not reach the network within the short lifetime of a recent blockhash. Under SIMD-0723, those users would need alternative signing arrangements.
The proposal points toward onchain programs that verify offline signatures, including Anza's Programmatic Signer and Blueshift's Vector. CoinDesk also reported that a failed transaction could leave an authorization usable, meaning custody teams would need to treat unsuccessful submissions carefully during any migration.
Network context for SOL holders
Solana's official upgrade overview lists durable nonce deprecation as an unscheduled change and describes a migration period after a replacement program is ready. The same page lists Alpenglow as live on mainnet, with target finality of about 150 milliseconds compared with 12.8 seconds under the previous consensus system. These developments affect network design and operational workflows, but they do not by themselves establish a valuation for SOL.
For investors, the Solana price remains a separate market observation from the protocol roadmap. The current quote provides a dated reference for the token, while the nonce proposal describes a possible future software change. Further technical review, implementation planning and validator adoption will determine whether and when the proposal reaches mainnet.
