Solana’s network withstood one of the largest DDoS attacks in history, handling peak traffic of up to 6 terabits per second. Despite the attack, average block confirmations remained around 450 milliseconds, with p90 latency under 700 milliseconds. Founder Anatoly Yakovenko described the resilience as a bullish signal.
Concurrently, the Solana Foundation is moving toward quantum-resistant cryptography, collaborating with Project Eleven to conduct post-quantum tests and build a testnet with post-quantum signatures. The 2025–26 roadmap envisions the Firedancer validator client to boost performance and stability, doubling block capacity, and a new consensus design without vote transactions, with the Alpenglow upgrade slated for Q1 2026.
From a market perspective, Solana’s price remains under pressure with a key support zone around 110–121 USD; a close below roughly 100 USD could jeopardize that buying opportunity, while staying above this level could imply potential upside toward higher prices. The article notes ongoing updates and milestones as Solana pursues quantum-safe infrastructure and scalability.
