Solana continues to impress users with sustained results. A recent report from the Solana Foundation highlights that app revenue on the network exceeded $1 billion in Q2 2025.
Solana's App Revenue Achievements
In Q2 2025, Solana's app revenue rose compared to Q1 while many other major networks reported declines. Solana now demonstrates revenue that surpasses the combined income of all other blockchains.
Increase in Validator Income and Cost Reduction
Validator income has also significantly increased, reaching an average level of $800 million per quarter. The peak income occurred on January 19, when validators earned $56.9 million in a single day. Meanwhile, validator costs have dramatically dropped. To break even, validators now require just 16,000 SOL, down from 50,000 SOL in 2022.
Improvement in Network Decentralization
According to the Solana Foundation, the network has made significant gains in decentralization, with the Nakamoto Coefficient reaching 20, placing Solana ahead of Ethereum and other blockchains.
The Solana network continues to solidify its market position with high revenue figures, an increasing number of developers, and improved decentralization, making it attractive for users and investors.
