Solana triples transaction size, prepares 250 ms slots
- —The V1 format raised the transaction data limit to 4,096 bytes — more than a 3x increase
- —The transition to 250 ms slots is expected around 05:01 UTC on September 18 in epoch 1037
- —In August, Solana processed 5.2 billion non-voting transactions — 19% more than July
- —Solana app revenue reached $40.8 million in a week, DEX volume hit $16.59 billion
Why it matters: Growing throughput and activity strengthen Solana's position in the competition for DeFi and tokenized assets, but increase the load on validators.
