Solana's network performance recovered impressively after historical stability issues plagued earlier versions. Current throughput capacity exceeds 50,000 transactions per second during peak activity while maintaining sub-second finality. The ecosystem attracted significant developer mindshare, with numerous DeFi and NFT projects launching exclusively on Solana. Validator decentralization improved substantially, though concerns about hardware requirements and centralization risks persist among critics of the architecture.
