Solana made a strong showing in 2025, quietly clocking over 121 billion transactions across the year—a figure that puts it ahead of competing chains in raw throughput. While headlines often focus elsewhere, these on-chain numbers tell the real story: consistent network adoption and sustained user activity. Whether it's DeFi activity, NFT transactions, or everyday token transfers, Solana's infrastructure continues to handle the load. As we move into 2026, this kind of performance data becomes a key metric for evaluating which blockchains can actually scale.

121 billion transactions are indeed impressive, but the real question is whether there are actually that many people using it or if it's just bots generating fake activity.

Sol quietly wins big, with 12.1 billion transactions. This data really isn't bragging. But speaking of which, who still cares how headlines write it? On-chain data is the real truth. Sol can handle such a high transaction volume, it really has some skills. I'm a bit curious, out of these 12.1 billion, how much is genuine usage and how much is generated by bots. Next year's standard for evaluation will be TPS, and Sol's performance is solid. Watching other chains boast every day, but Sol is quietly making a fortune. That's interesting. Strong infrastructure is fundamental, but the key is whether the ecosystem can be utilized. Actually, the 12.1 billion figure needs to be compared with Ethereum to see the real picture. I have to say, Sol's infrastructure is indeed solid, but unfortunately, its marketing is average. Hold on, this data hasn't been verified... we need to check the source. Really, whether the performance is strong or not, you'll know once you try running it. Don't just look at the numbers. Sol's output is stable this round. By 2026, it should be its turn to boast.

1.21 billion transactions—does this number impress you? But SOL is indeed quietly getting things done, much more reliable than those chains that publish press releases every day.

Solana's data is indeed impressive; 121 billion transactions quietly surpass many other chains. Truly no exaggeration.
