Six years ago, the first block on Solana quietly went live. It was March 16, 2020, and at the time the blockchain space was already crowded with projects trying to solve the same problem—how to make decentralized networks faster and cheaper without losing security. Fast forward to today, and Solana has grown into one of the most active ecosystems in crypto. The numbers behind the network’s sixth anniversary say a lot about that journey. Since launch, the blockchain has processed more than 496 billion transactions, facilitated over $3.3 trillion in trading volume, and now holds $17.4 billion in stablecoins on-chain.
