Despite these positive developments, the Solana network's validator count has decreased from around 1,970 nodes a year ago to 1,358 today, indicating a less distributed network. However, the recent price rally and improved metrics have encouraged some validators to rejoin the network, with 58 new nodes added since September 28. This resurgence in validator participation reflects the growing confidence in Solana's ecosystem as it continues to evolve and adapt to market conditions.
