Solana Sets New Transaction Record with 5.2 Billion Non-Vote Transactions in August

Solana's transaction volume hit a record high in August 2026, processing approximately 5.2 billion non-vote transactions.

This figure represents a 24% increase from July's previous record of 4.2 billion and marks the highest monthly total for Solana to date.

The surge in activity is attributed to several factors, including an upgrade to the network's capacity, which increased compute units per block by 66%, allowing applications to process more transactions efficiently.

Fees on the network have also seen a significant increase, with seven-day average fee revenue reaching approximately 9,200 SOL per day in late August, up around 80% from three months earlier.
