Solana reaches record 5.2B non-vote transactions in August

$SOL recorded an all-time high of 5.2 billion non-vote transactions in August, marking a new record for onchain activity.
The total was approximately 19% above July's previous record and excludes consensus voting traffic, providing a clearer measure of user-driven network activity.
Memecoin trading contributed significantly to the surge, with weekly spot volume reaching $5.2 billion, its highest level since November 2025. The record activity demonstrates strong network usage while also highlighting Solana's continued exposure to highly speculative trading.
