Odaily Planet Daily News: Solana Foundation President Lily Liu (@solanafndn) spoke at the 2025 Shanghai Blockchain International Week and the 11th Blockchain Global Summit, stating that Solana's vision is to build a high-speed blockchain network for the global financial system and become the infrastructure of internet finance.
Lily noted that the Solana ecosystem is experiencing rapid growth across all three layers: network, application, and asset management. Currently, daily transaction volume exceeds two to three times the combined total of all other public chains, and on-chain application revenue leads the industry. By 2024, Solana's ecosystem application revenue will reach $3.3 billion, with $8.9 billion in funding raised, attracting over 7,500 new developers and exceeding 2,000 applications.
She revealed that the Solana mainnet has been online for five years, with a stable TPS exceeding 1,000 (excluding voting), transaction fees of only $0.0005, and performance approaching that of Visa and Nasdaq. In the future, Solana will continue to promote the "tokenization of everything and marketization of everything," allowing the circulation of traditional and on-chain assets within a unified architecture.
Lily stated that Solana will continue to increase its support for the Chinese-speaking ecosystem, focusing on payment, Decentralized Payments (DePIN), and AI. She emphasized, "If Bitcoin is digital gold, Solana is the internet's native financial infrastructure."
