Solana’s V1 upgrade is now live, expanding the maximum transaction size from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes. The move gives the network more room for complex applications as on-chain activity accelerates.
- Non-vote transactions topped 10 billion in Q1 and reached roughly 9.7 billion in Q2.
- Larger transactions support ZK proofs, multisig operations, and denser DeFi workflows.
- The real catalyst is adoption: usage must convert into fees, liquidity, and value for $SOL.
LaunchBar take: this is infrastructure alpha, not instant price action. Solana is widening its lead in high-throughput applications, but traders should watch fees, TVL, DEX volume, and sustained transaction growth before chasing a breakout.
