Solana’s recent 10% gain follows a two-year stability streak and testing of its Firedancer upgrade, boosting transaction capacity to 1 million tps.
Solana (SOL) has risen 10% over the past week, recovering from a 68% drop from its $294 all-time high. The rebound follows improved network reliability, with no major outages in over two years, and progress on its Firedancer upgrade.
The blockchain now processes over 1,000 transactions per second (tps) for under $0.01 in fees, outperforming Ethereum’s 20 tps at $0.30. Firedancer, launched in December 2025, has demonstrated capacity for 1 million tps in testing and enhances stability by isolating validator tasks.
Despite ongoing selling pressure from FTX estate liquidations, Solana’s technical advancements are drawing investor attention amid broader market recognition of its efficiency gains.
