Solana processed a record 4.2 billion non-vote transactions in July 2026, up 13.5% from June and 91% from December 2025. The measure excludes validator voting messages and covers user- and application-generated activity such as trades, token mints, transfers and program interactions. July was the second consecutive monthly record, while weekly activity first surpassed one billion in the week ending July 6 and later reached 1.318 billion in the week of Aug. 17-23. The network averaged 1,584 non-vote transactions per second during July, and its capacity expanded on July 29 when SIMD-0286 raised the block compute limit by 66%, from 60 million to 100 million compute units. Tokenized real-world assets on Solana approached $4 billion by late August, while SOL gained about 40% in eight days through Aug. 25 and crossed $100 for the first time since February.
