Several important factors are behind this interest, such as fast growth, heavy use, and ecosystem strength.
Solana’s speed has drawn in a huge number of users and developers who are building all sorts of crypto projects, from DeFi protocols and NFTs, to games and dApps.
Also, it regularly handles more transactions than most other major blockchains, putting it at the top for raw activity. Plus, because it’s cheap and fast to use, many developers choose Solana, making its collection of apps and services as strong as its competitors.
Over the past week, Solana’s network was targeted by a massive DDoS attack, peaking at an estimated 6 terabits per second (Tbps), which makes it the fourth-largest DDoS attack ever recorded across any distributed system.

Impressively, on-chain metrics showed no notable slowdown in transaction confirmations or network latency, proving the network’s strength.
Also, block production continued without disruptions, and validators remained stable throughout the period.
Interestingly, Solana’s momentum this year has also yielded several notable positive developments.

Last week, financial firm Oxbridge (OXBR) and Alphaledger launched new products that turn insurance-related assets into digital tokens on Solana’s Vulcan Forge platform. These products are designed to offer qualified investors substantial annual yields.
