Solana hit a record high in transaction volume last week

Solana’s network experienced an exceptionally active period in recent days, solidifying its position as one of the most dynamic blockchains in the ecosystem. According to information released by the Solana Foundation, the platform achieved impressive milestones in transaction activity, demonstrating the scalability of its infrastructure.

Transaction Records During the Past Week

As revealed by Solana Foundation member Vibhu, the unvoted transaction volume reached 148 million in a single day during this period. This number not only sets a new all-time high for the network but also validates the processing capacity that Solana has been developing. Last week marked the highest activity in blockchain history, with total transaction volume approaching 1 billion over seven days.

System Capacity and Efficiency

The technical performance was particularly notable through the metric of TPS (transactions per second) for unvoted transactions, which remained around 1,505 during peak activity. This level of throughput places Solana in a unique comparison tier, where the volume transacted in the past week is roughly equivalent to Ethereum’s total activity over the past two years. Such a comparison highlights not only the network’s speed but also the volume of activity being processed on Solana.

Market Context and Outlook

The activity surge occurred during a period of significant volatility in the cryptocurrency markets, suggesting that Solana’s higher liquidity and transaction capacity attract users during times of increased movement. The data reveal that the network’s infrastructure is being utilized at full capacity, establishing last week as a turning point for practically demonstrating the capabilities Solana offers.
