⚡️ Solana Breaks 100,000 TPS Barrier ⚡️

Over the weekend, Solana briefly hit a record 107,540 transactions per second (TPS) on its mainnet — a milestone that showcases the blockchain’s speed and scalability. 🚀

🔎 What happened:

•A single block processed 43,016 successful transactions (and just 50 failures).

•Much of the spike came from “noop” test transactions (minimal instructions used for stress-testing).

•According to Solana developer Mert Mumtaz, the network’s design could sustainably handle 80K–100K TPS for real-world operations like token transfers & oracle updates.

📊 Reality check:

•Everyday Solana throughput averages ~3,700 TPS (much of it validator votes).

•Effective TPS for payments/apps is closer to ~1,000 TPS.

•Institutional appetite remains strong — four public companies collectively hold over 3.5M SOL (~0.65% of supply).

👉 Huge technical milestone, but the big question is: can Solana’s real-world usage scale to match its theoretical limits?
