Solana Reaches 100,000 TPS: Implications for the Network's Future

Solana Achieves High TPS: The Solana blockchain recorded over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), with a peak of 107,540 TPS during the weekend, although many were "noop" calls used for testing.

Debate on Transaction Validity: Critics argue that the high TPS figures may not reflect genuine user activity, as many transactions were low-cost data additions rather than meaningful interactions.

Real-Time TPS Rates: Current real-time usage shows much lower TPS rates, averaging around 3,500, with most transactions being validator voting rather than user payments.

Potential Impact on SOL Token: Despite concerns, the theoretical capacity of Solana could enhance interest in the SOL token, as developers analyze test results to ensure sustainable growth and improvements.
