Solana Sets New High for Transactions in August
Based on a chart provided by Solana, citing Blockworks data, the year-long rise in non-vote transactions culminated in a record high in August.
Over 5.2 billion transactions were processed on the network during the month, which is the highest-ever number of transactions recorded on SOL.
This is significant because non-vote transactions are used to track the real usage of the network since they consist of user and application transactions.
The increase in transactions described the milestone as “A new ATH, up 19% from July’s record.“
Growth Is Clear in Several Metrics
Apart from this transaction milestone, other on-chain metrics also support the trend. According to data from DeFiLlama, the total value locked (TVL) on SOL a remained near $5.8 billion through the end of August.
Moreover, the number of active addresses surpassed 2 million on several occasions. The number of transactions also stayed high during the month, suggesting that network activity was sustained rather than driven by a single spike.

Recent Developments Drive Continued Momentum
In addition to its core transactional activity, Solana continues to see new projects and financial products being introduced.
Recent announcements included the launch of “GPRO is live on Solana” through Backpack Securities and Sunrise, as well as the availability of Securitize’s High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC) as collateral through Loopscale.
These developments suggest that use cases on the network are expanding beyond traditional cryptocurrency trading.
What Comes Next ?
According to recent findings, Solana’s growth story is no longer focused on a single metric. Rising transaction volumes, growing user participation, stable TVL levels, and ecosystem developments are all moving in the same direction.
Whether this trend continues through September remains to be seen, but August has already established a new benchmark for activity on the network.
