Solana's $4 Billion RWA Ecosystem Skyrockets After Slot Time Cut

Solana's real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem has reached a new milestone of $4 billion in total value, according to an official post from Solana. This achievement comes just two days after validators activated SIMD-0525 at epoch 1020, reducing the network's slot time from 400 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds for the first time since launch.

The Solana Compass network analytics recorded average user throughput of 1,710 transactions per second and 27.7% compute utilization against the 400ms block ceiling in the six days before epoch 1020. Tokenized U.S. Treasury products accounted for $1.2 billion of Solana's reported RWA ecosystem total, up 16.1% over the same period.

Ethereum still holds a larger absolute RWA base at approximately $17.2 billion as of August 22, according to Motley Fool's analysis. However, Solana's reported $4 billion ecosystem total marks a new high for the network's RWA market.
