Lily Liu: Solana network, applications, and institutional adoption are entering a rapid growth phase in full swing

Foresight News现场报道，Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu stated in her opening speech at Solana Breakpoint 2025 that this year’s conference is the first to be held in the Middle East, and also the first in the United Arab Emirates. The UAE has long been rapidly implementing new technologies at the national level, from establishing an AI department in 2017 to building a 1GW supercomputing facility and a 200MW data center, reflecting a “shipping in production” pace that aligns closely with Solana’s “mainnet as a production environment” philosophy. Additionally, the Solana network, application layer, and capital markets all saw significant growth in 2025. At the network level, Solana continuously improves bandwidth and reduces latency (IBRL), maintaining stability during extreme market conditions. The mainnet has handled 100,000 TPS and 60 million compute units per block, with the Agave client achieving over one million TPS in experimental environments. Multiple metrics at the application layer reached historic highs, including application revenue, TVL, developer count, DEX trading volume, and new token issuances, with more small teams building on Solana and generating substantial income. At the institutional level, the entity staking ETF reached nearly $1 billion in assets within six weeks of launch.
