In a month, Solana processes more transactions than Ethereum has in its entire history

Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated that the blockchain he created, Solana, processes as many transactions in a single month as Ethereum has processed throughout its entire existence.

Yakovenko added that Solana does not require separate blockchains or additional settlement layers to achieve its current level of activity. According to him, applications, payments, DeFi, and consumer transactions can coexist within one execution environment — provided the base network is fast enough.

This is Solana’s main product requirement, standing in contrast to Ethereum’s roadmap, which is focused on rollups. For developers, this results in less complexity and a shorter path from building applications to reaching users.

In addition to Solana’s performance and efficiency, Yakovenko highlighted a new trend emerging in the Web3 ecosystem — where artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming the dominant technology. He expressed interest in Figure Robotics, a company developing AI and creating general-purpose humanoid robots.

Yakovenko also noted that cryptocurrencies are entering an era of mass adoption, with stablecoins leading the way. He agreed with forecasts suggesting that the sector could grow from its current $250 billion to $10 trillion.

In this regard, the Solana founder advised future developers and innovators to focus on projects centered around or integrated with stablecoins, as they are set to become the driving force of a new era in cryptocurrencies and Web3 development.
