Solana (SOL) Network Handles Record 80M Daily Transactions

Solana (SOL) $SOL has broken its own performance record, processing over 80 million transactions in a single day without any downtime. This achievement underscores Solana’s growing reputation as the “fast chain” ideal for DeFi, NFTs, and real-time applications like gaming. Projects such as Helium, Jupiter Exchange, and DRiP are driving massive user activity. Solana’s speed and low fees continue to attract developers frustrated with higher costs on Ethereum. Following the news, SOL rose 4.5% to hit $192, with analysts suggesting a breakout above $200 is imminent. The increased transaction throughput is attributed to optimizations in the Firedancer validator client and network-level upgrades. With a surge in mobile wallet downloads and NFT minting, Solana is experiencing a new wave of retail and institutional interest. If sustained, this level of network efficiency could position SOL as a long-term Ethereum competitor in high-throughput blockchain sectors.
