Solana’s reported transaction statistics have come under intense scrutiny, with critics alleging artificial inflation from bot activity and questionable metrics distorting blockchain performance. New findings by Cardano Stake Pool Operator Dave reveal that bots are exploiting Solana’s system, generating misleading data. He highlighted a bot that generated over 11 million transactions in just 30 days, yet nearly all of them failed. The presence of these failed transactions in Solana’s transaction history leads to an inflated view of network activity levels and scalability claims. 658,460 transactions were recorded on September 1, 2025, with only 155 successful transactions – representing a mere 0.024% success rate. This raises concerns about the accuracy of Solana’s reported transaction volume which paints an overly optimistic picture of the blockchain’s performance. Despite its low fees that attract bot activity, Solana is facing scrutiny over these inflated numbers. Critics argue that such distorted metrics create a false perception of network efficiency and real capability. 50% of all transactions fail on Solana. The debate continues as some point to low transaction fees as a contributing factor, allowing bots to exploit the system. This has led to accusations of creating an illusionary environment where Solana’s reputation may be tarnished unless the issue is addressed transparently.
