Solana demonstrated its robust infrastructure during a massive crypto liquidation event that impacted nearly $20 billion in leveraged positions across digital assets. The blockchain achieved an unprecedented record of 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) during this high-pressure period, maintaining network stability without any degradation. This milestone follows Solana’s successful handling of past congestion events. 6x peak traffic was achieved by the Agave validator client as it processed over 60 million compute unit (CU) blocks seamlessly. 2021 and 2022 saw similar stress, causing delays and reboots, but this recent test showcased consistent uptime and scalability at record-breaking volumes.
