Solana’s throughput growth was driven by a mix of on-chain activity: decentralized applications, token launches and high-frequency interactions. Solana cofounder Anatoly Yakovenko posted the milestone on X, citing internal metrics. Solana’s reported $148 million in app revenue and 83 million active addresses in August reflect elevated usage.
Critics point to differing measurement methodologies across blockchains and to high-frequency automated transactions that can inflate totals. COINOTAG notes that on-chain counting conventions vary; therefore direct protocol-to-protocol comparisons require consistent metric definitions and transparency about what is counted as a transaction.
Solana’s official figures list $148 million in application revenue for August 2025, a year-on-year increase of 92% per COINOTAG review of reported data. Revenue gains were concentrated in decentralized finance (DeFi) fees and application-level monetization.
User engagement expanded to 83 million active addresses in the month, a doubling from the prior year. Developers launched approximately 843,000 new tokens on Solana in the period, with 357 tokens recording valuations above $1 million, indicating increased ecosystem economic activity.
