While the prices of cryptocurrencies are trending downward, major networks such as Solana are showing heightened activity on-chain. Meanwhile, on-chain data shows that SOL is at the top of its game as the network has had a better runtime in recent days compared to major chains.

Blockchain Stress Test, But Solana Shows Strength

In the recent market cycle, the Solana Blockchain has notably maintained its uptime and also demonstrated robust network performance and adoption. Despite a recent outage that struck the crypto sector, the leading blockchain held its ground and ultimately delivered a great performance.

As disclosed by the Solana official page on the X platform, the network has emerged as an obvious frontrunner in terms of strength and performance recently. This robust action continued even during the latest Amazon Web Service (AWS) outage that disrupted multiple blockchain networks. 

Despite latency and transaction delays on a few chains, SOL’s decentralized validator network and high-throughput architecture ensured smooth operations. In addition to enhancing its reputation for dependability, the network’s ability to remain stable in the face of frequent cloud outages has highlighted its increasing leadership in blockchain infrastructure efficiency and practical scalability.

According to the report from the page, Solana outperforms all other large crypto networks in terms of performance during the AWS outage, with no impact on throughput. The persistent uptime was probably fueled by steady developer and staking activity across its entire ecosystem.

Furthermore, the data shows that the SOL network is now ranked in first position in terms of resilience, reflecting its unmatched network stability and performance under pressure. This remarkable milestone was achieved by the leading blockchain with the lowest percentage (%) of stake residing in AWS.

Given its low-cost transactions, expanding yield opportunities, and growing institutional interest, this milestone did not come entirely as a shock. Such achievement strengthens Solana’s standing as a cutting-edge blockchain designed for innovation.

SOL Draws Traders From Other Chains

SOL is turning out to be the blockchain choice for both retail and institutional players. In a post on the X platform, SolanaFloor reported that traders appear to be returning to Solana following several weeks of BSC (Binance Smart Chain) meme season. 

At the forefront of the renewed capital flow into the ecosystem is Pump.fun. According to the platform, Pump.fun has taken the lead once again in terms of token graduates and token creations within a 24-hour period.

While traders are returning to SOL, over $8 million in net inflows from BSC to Solana have supported the move in the past week, a development that highlights growing capital rotation back into the SOL trenches. The return of traders is cementing SOL’s reputation as a more robust layer 1 network in the broader cryptocurrency landscape.
