Solana (SOL) is facing criticism after revelations of inflated transaction statistics on its blockchain. A Cardano Stake Pool Operator, known as Dave, pointed out that a bot executed 11 million transactions in 30 days with a failure rate of 99.95%. This has raised concerns about the accuracy of Solana's reported transaction volumes. On September 1, 2025, only 155 out of 658,460 transactions were successful, casting doubt on Solana's scalability claims. Critics argue that Solana's low fees may encourage metric exploitation, while supporters maintain that the network accurately distinguishes successful transactions. The debate highlights ongoing concerns about transaction fees and network reliability in the crypto space.
