Executive Summary
Since the Solana Foundation last published its Validator Health Report and Network Performance Report, the Solana network has continued to grow, improve, and thrive. This report combines both of the prior reports and serves as an update on the network and ecosystem as a whole.
Notable achievements, discussed in detail throughout the report, include:
Continuous improvement of network health, evidenced by 16 months (and counting) of continuous uptime and no major network issues, including the periods of high network load in January 2025
Release of Frankendancer — a new validator client built by the Firedancer team
A record high vote participation for any blockchain at any time with nearly 75% of staked SOL participating in the vote for SIMD-228
Improved economic health of validators with milestones such as increased block rewards, a significant rise in REV, and 100% of priority fees now going to validators
A steady and industry-leading decentralization score as measured by the Nakamoto Coefficient
While improvement of the network is an ongoing goal, Solana continues to be a leader in network performance and validator health–whether measured by decentralization, performance, or the robustness of the validator community.
