Solana processed more than 1 billion non-vote transactions in the week ending July 6, the first time the network has crossed that threshold and up from the previous weekly record of 962.4 million. Non-vote transactions exclude validator consensus messages and are used to track application-layer activity such as decentralized exchange trades, token transfers, stablecoin payments, gaming interactions and AI agent activity. The record extends a broader rise in usage, with June totaling 3.77 billion non-vote transactions and monthly counts climbing from about 3.4 billion in February, while Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko pointed to “100m cu blocks next,” referring to a higher per-block compute unit limit. Solana also reclaimed the top spot in daily network REV on July 6 for the first time in four months, ranked second globally in weekly spot crypto trading volume at $12.25 billion behind Binance and ahead of Bybit, and saw about $3.50 billion minted by Circle on the network last week.
