This figure represents an increase of over 42% compared to September, far surpassing the fewer than 12.7 million active addresses in January of this year.Eden Au, research director at The Block, stated that the recent surge in Solana's activity is primarily driven by a trading frenzy of meme coins on the network, with the meme coin generation app Pump.fun and the decentralized exchange Raydium being particularly active over the past month. Data shows that Pump.fun's monthly revenue exceeded $30.5 million in October, while Raydium's trading volume surpassed $30 billion that month.Analysts also pointed out that the rapid rise of the meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), associated with the AI chatbot Terminal of Truths, has led to the birth of numerous AI-themed meme coins on Solana, further boosting network activity.

ChainCatcher news, Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz explained on social media the reasons behind the recent network instability of Solana.He pointed out that the current issues with Solana do not stem from a design flaw in the protocol, but rather from a bug that occurred in a specific implementation. Solana uses the QUIC network protocol, but the version of QUIC currently in use has some defects and errors.The CEO further explained that the design of the protocol is like the overall design of a car, while the specific implementation is similar to different brands of car models. If a particular brand model has issues, it does not mean that all cars have design flaws. Solana only needs to replace the problematic "parts" without changing the entire "model."He revealed that the implementation being developed by Firedancer does not have the same issues. The fix is expected to be released on April 15, and if other problems are discovered during testing, the launch time may be delayed.In addition to technical issues, the CEO believes that Solana also needs to consider long-term economic sustainability factors, and after fixing the bugs, it can more clearly plan the local fee market and economic incentives.
