ME News report, January 29 (UTC+8), ME News report, January 29 (UTC+8), The number of daily active validators on Solana has fallen below 800, returning to 2021 levels. This data represents a decline of over 65% from the peak of approximately 2,500 validators at the beginning of 2023. The transaction volume of validator votes has decreased from about 300,000 per day to 170,000, a drop of 40%. The main reason for the loss of validators is changes in economic benefits, including the declining support for voting costs provided by the Solana Foundation Delegation Program and the staking matching policy over time. Despite the shrinkage in the number of validators, non-voting transaction volumes initiated by users, such as DApp interactions and token transfers, remain stable at around 100,000,000 transactions per day.
