Most Ethereum volume has migrated to Layer 2 networks like Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, which together process a further 12 million daily transactions.<\/p><p>&#8220;Raw transaction count isn&#8217;t the whole story,&#8221; cautioned Ethereum researcher Justin Drake. &#8220;Solana&#8217;s numbers are inflated by a high proportion of failed transactions and internal validator messages.&#8221; Solana developers disputed this characterization, noting that failed transactions represent less than 4% of total activity.<\/p><p>Solana&#8217;s SOL token has slightly underperformed the broader market in April, trading near $86 \u2014 down from a February high of $210. Despite the price weakness, developer activity on the network has remained robust, with over 3,200 new programs deployed in the past 30 days.<\/p><p>Institutional interest in Solana has grown alongside its usage metrics.
