Solana processed 1,012,226,009 non-vote transactions during the week of July 27 to August 2, a new all-time high for weekly network activity that eclipsed the previous record of 962.4 million non-vote transactions set in late June. Non-vote transactions strip out the automatic validator voting that keeps the blockchain in sync, making the figure a cleaner read on actual user and application activity rather than routine network maintenance.
The milestone arrived alongside a broader jump in network revenue. Memeburn reported that Solana's weekly revenue climbed 32% from its early-April lows to reach $23.9 million, with daily revenue hitting $4.44 million on August 4 — its highest level in six months.
Memecoins Still Drive a Big Share of Activity
Memecoin trading remains a major contributor to the surge, accounting for roughly 28% of weekly DEX activity on the network — a reminder that speculative token trading continues to be a core driver of Solana's usage numbers even as the network has pushed to diversify into more institutional-facing applications.
Tokenized Equities Are the Bigger Story
The more structurally significant number may be Solana's dominance in tokenized stocks: the network handled roughly $1.45 billion in tokenized equities volume during July alone, capturing approximately 82% of all tokenized stock trading across every blockchain. That level of concentration means Solana isn't just winning on raw transaction count — it has become the default venue for a specific, fast-growing category of onchain finance that bridges traditional equities and crypto rails.

The activity surge is notable partly because of the market backdrop it's happening against: Solana's onchain usage has been climbing even during stretches of relatively weak or choppy crypto prices, suggesting the growth is being driven by structural adoption — tokenized products, DeFi activity, exchange integrations — rather than simply tracking a broader market rally.
With both transaction counts and revenue trending upward together, the network's next test will be whether this pace of growth holds once the current wave of tokenized-equity and memecoin activity inevitably cools from its current highs.
