Solana processed 1.318 billion non-vote transactions in the week of August 17–23, setting a weekly record, Solana Compass reported on August 24. The total exceeded the one-billion threshold and marked a fourth consecutive week above that level.
The measure excludes validator voting messages used to maintain consensus. It instead tracks other on-chain operations, including trades, token transfers and application interactions. Removing votes makes this different from an overall transaction total that also includes the network’s routine consensus traffic.
Spread across seven days, the reported figure represents approximately 188 million non-vote transactions per day, or around 2,180 per second. Those are averages calculated from the weekly total, rather than peak throughput measurements or a guarantee of transaction-processing capacity.
Transaction counts also differ from unique-user numbers, revenue and the dollar value transferred. Automated systems and repeated application calls contribute to activity, so the record alone does not show how many people used Solana or how much economic value changed hands.
The milestone comes as developers and financial firms explore further uses for the network. CoinScreamer previously covered Toss Bank’s remittance pilot with the Solana Foundation. That separate project illustrates a potential application; the transaction tally does not attribute the record to the bank’s tests.
