On August 17, one of the network blocks processed 43 016 transactionsof which only 50 failed. However, most of them were ’empty’ (NO-OP) – operations that did not perform real computations, but checked the limits of scalability.

According to Mumtaz, taking into account these nuances, Solana is able to process 80,000–100,000 TPS For standard operations: transfers, oracle updates, etc.

In practice, the indicators are lower: according to SolScan, current TPS is about 3700, of which two-thirds account for service transactions of validators. real throughput is estimated in 1004–1050 TPS, which in 59 times exceeds A similar indicator of the Ethereum network.

In the Solana ecosystem, activity grows: in the last month the number of active addresses has reached 80.9 million, and the number of transactions exceeded 2.4 billion. Main drivers – Meme Coins and defiamong the leaders pump.fun and jupiter.

According to Defi Llama, common TVL network exceeded $10.4 billion, which is only 11% lower than the historical maximum.
