Solana hits over 400B transactions and nearly $1T in volume as it completes 5 years

Solana, the layer-one blockchain platform, celebrated five years since the launch of its mainnet on March 16, 2020. To celebrate the milestone, the network shared its accomplishments, which include more than 1,300 validators, nearly $1 trillion in trading volume, and over 408 billion total Solana transactions, in a post on its official X account. https://twitter.com/solana/status/1901279678620749997?s=46&t=nznXkss3debX8JIhNzHmzw Solana ( SOL ) was founded in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko with the goal of addressing the primary challenge facing blockchain technology. The network aims to strike the right balance between scalability, security, and decentralization. When combined with proof-of-stake, Yakovenko’s proof-of-history system speeds up transaction processing. Solana has been able to grow while maintaining low costs as a result.
