Solana (SOL) processed 5.2 billion non-vote transactions in August, setting a new record and exceeding July’s previous high by 19%, according to a post shared by Solana on X.

The milestone reflects continued growth in activity, usage, and new projects within the Solana ecosystem. At the time of writing, SOL was trading at $101.67, down 1.35% over the past 24 hours.

Solana Posts a New Monthly Transaction Record

A chart shared by Solana and citing Blockworks data shows that the steady rise in non-vote transactions over the past year culminated in a record high in August.

More than 5.2 billion transactions were processed on the network during the month, marking the highest monthly total ever recorded on Solana.

The figure is notable because non-vote transactions are generally used to measure real network usage, as they include user and application activity.

In its post, Solana described the result as “A new ATH, up 19% from July’s record.”

Other On-Chain Metrics Also Point Higher

Beyond the transaction record, additional on-chain data also supported the broader trend. According to DeFiLlama, Solana’s total value locked (TVL) remained near $5.8 billion through the end of August.

Active addresses also surpassed 2 million on several occasions. Transaction activity stayed elevated throughout the month, suggesting the increase was sustained rather than driven by a brief spike.

New Projects and Financial Products Continue to Arrive

Solana has also continued to attract new projects and financial products.

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 indicate that use cases on the network are expanding beyond traditional cryptocurrency trading, with more of the activity now tied to applications and tokenized products that rely on network throughput.

August Sets a Fresh Benchmark for Activity

Recent data suggests Solana’s growth is now being reflected across multiple measures, including rising transaction volumes, stronger user participation, stable TVL levels, and ecosystem development. For readers tracking the network, these figures offer a snapshot of how usage is being measured in practice: not just by token price, but by the volume of activity flowing through the chain.

Whether the trend continues into September remains to be seen, but August has already established a new benchmark for activity on the network.
