Solana sets new single-day nonvote transaction record at 171.9 million on Aug. 10
AI Market Summary
Solana set consecutive records for single-day nonvote transactions (171.9M on Aug 10) after the SIMD-0286 upgrade lifted per-block compute capacity by 66%, easing prior congestion where ~11.2% of blocks neared the old ceiling. The activity rise alongside a reported ~40% drop in validator vote transactions highlights shifting network dynamics. Higher throughput and improving app revenue suggest usage is increasingly fee-generating rather than purely synthetic.

Solana set back-to-back records for single-day nonvote transactions this week, reaching 169.9 million on Aug. 4 and 171.9 million on Aug. 10. The volume was more than ten times that of the next closest blockchain. The increase followed activation of the SIMD-0286 upgrade on July 29, which raised the per-block compute limit from 60 million to 100 million compute units, a 66% jump. About 11.2% of blocks had been nearing the old ceiling, while validator vote transactions fell roughly 40% in the same month.
