Solana's recent Alpenglow upgrade changed how transactions are counted by excluding validator votes, which previously made up 56% of transactions. Despite the drop in reported transactions, genuine user activity remains steady at 3,165 transactions per second. The upgrade also improved block times to 213 milliseconds per slot, though finality is currently slower than the 150 ms target. Meanwhile, SOL trades near $100, facing pressure from fund outflows and upcoming Fed rate decisions, with technical support at $98.27 and resistance near $106.
