Solana's high-speed transaction processing and low fees have positioned it as a serious contender in the blockchain space. With a rapidly expanding ecosystem of DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and dApps, the network continues to demonstrate real utility beyond hype. The improvements to network stability and validator infrastructure suggest Solana could play a pivotal role shaping crypto's infrastructure layer going forward.

This stability upgrade for SOL is indeed significant, but it still depends on whether the validators can hold up. Hopefully, there won't be another centralized collapse.

The snapshot is here, and SOL is showing off again? Forget it, let's wait until it truly takes on the infrastructure role.

It still depends on whether the validators are reliable. It's really exhausting to have so many disconnections before...

empirically speaking, solana's tps metrics look solid but where's the actual governance decentralization data? the validator distribution still feels... concentrated ngl. infrastructure layer plays are cool until someone measures actual protocol health KPIs

SOL this time is solid, with real use cases piling up, not just relying on storytelling to survive.

This round of SOL is stable, the low fees are really amazing... But every time the network gets stuck, I think of those down days. Things are much better now, I have to admit.
