From network usage to real-world integration, Solana's momentum in 2025 is setting it apart from the rest of the pack.
Real economic value flowing through the network skyrocketed, peaking in January with a single-day high of over $56 million - more than Ethereum and Bitcoin combined. Heavy use of Jito's tipping mechanism revealed a thriving MEV landscape, where users willingly pay extra for faster execution while keeping baseline fees nearly negligible.
Solana's efficiency remains
unmatched. The network continues to handle over 160 million daily transactions with sub-second block times and hasn't experienced downtime since early 2024. Its next- gen consensus upgrade, Alpenglow, is expected to cut finality times in half and make it cheaper for new validators to participate.#NFPWatch #sol #solana $SOL
