Solana reached a new all-time high in transaction volume

The Solana network experienced an exceptional period of activity, with performance reaching new heights. According to information released by Solana Foundation member Vibhu, the blockchain achieved two significant milestones during the recent market volatility.

Transaction Peak in January

At the end of January, specifically on January 30th, Solana recorded 148 million unvoted transactions in a single day — a feat that marks the highest volume ever observed in the network’s history. This record reflects not only the platform’s technical capacity but also the growing user engagement during periods of increased market movement.

Sustained Technical Performance

The most impressive data, however, goes beyond the single numbers. That week was consolidated as the period of highest activity in Solana’s history, with the network’s transaction volume approaching 1 billion. Even more remarkable is that the network maintained an average speed of 1505 transactions per second (TPS) of unvoted transactions throughout this period, demonstrating consistent scalability even under maximum pressure.

Industry Comparison

To put this performance into perspective, the total transaction volume on Solana that week equaled the total transactions processed by Ethereum over the past two years. This comparison not only highlights the speed differential between the two blockchains but also showcases Solana’s ability to process massive volumes of operations without perceptible degradation.

These milestones confirm Solana’s position as one of the highest throughput networks in the crypto ecosystem, setting new performance standards that continue to influence discussions on blockchain scalability.
