Solana (SOL) has faced scrutiny over claims of achieving 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), with critics alleging the network exaggerated its performance. The controversy arose after Solana reported raw transaction volumes of 6,000–10,000 TPS during peak demand, while Anza's Brennan Watt cited a 100,000 TPS figure. Solana clarified that the higher number includes unconfirmed and duplicate transactions, not final on-chain TPS. Despite the controversy, SOL's price has surged, reaching $208.92 with a 5.9% increase over 24 hours. This price movement highlights Solana's technical resilience and positions SOL as one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
