🚀 Solana Dominates Stress Test vs Ethereum During the October 10 Crash
When the crypto markets melted down on October 10, 2025, DeFi Dev Corp ran a real-time stress test comparing Solana and Ethereum under extreme volatility — and the results were stunning.
💪 Solana came out as the clear winner.
⚡ 46x Greater Throughput — Solana handled up to 1,250 transactions per second, while Ethereum managed just 26 TPS.
💸 2,464x Cheaper Fees — Average transaction cost on Solana peaked at only $0.25, compared to $616 on Ethereum.
⏱️ 43x Faster Finality — Solana maintained 350-millisecond block times, while Ethereum lagged at 15 seconds.
Even during one of the most chaotic market events of the year, Solana’s performance remained stable, proving its architecture can withstand network stress where others slow down. This reaffirms why developers, traders, and DeFi users increasingly choose high-speed, low-fee ecosystems like Solana for real-time market conditions.
