<b>Solana Sets New Transaction Processing Record</b>

Solana, a blockchain development platform, has achieved significant milestones in transaction processing. According to recent data, Solana processed an impressive 25.3 billion transactions in the first quarter of 2026, surpassing Ethereum's 200 million transactions during the same period.

This achievement is attributed to Solana's innovative proof-of-history (PoH) mechanism, which enables faster transaction processing and a higher scalability. Solana's speed allows it to process nearly 1,200 transactions per second (TPS), significantly outperforming Ethereum's real-time L1 speed of 24 TPS.

Despite its remarkable growth, Solana still lags behind Ethereum in terms of developer adoption. However, the article notes that Solana is gaining traction and attracting a growing number of developers, which could potentially limit Ethereum's dominance in the market.
