Solana processed more than 1.01 billion transactions in the week ending August 2, and DEX volume reached $50.8 billion in June. Futures open interest also rose 6.60% in 24 hours to above $500 million, adding leverage to the current move.
Validators are discussing proposals that could increase daily SOL burns from about 650 to 7,500–9,000 SOL, with emissions potentially reduced by 18.9 million SOL over six years. Network capacity also rose 66%, from 60 million to 100 million compute units per block.
