Mike Hale DeFi Development Corp launched State of Solana on August 26, 2026, a free public dashboard covering SOL price and returns, live network throughput, staking yields, validator concentration, uptime, cross-chain comparisons, and Solana's upgrade schedule. It's free and requires no account.
Previously, that data was spread across explorers, protocol front-ends, Dune queries, and a GitHub repo of SIMDs, which meant checking several sources that didn't always agree on the numbers.
"We have spent a lot of time explaining why we believe Solana is one of the most important networks in crypto, but that thesis extends far beyond the price of SOL. State of Solana gives investors and ecosystem participants a way to see the underlying data for themselves. Usage, throughput, staking, network economics, decentralization, yields, and ecosystem growth all contribute to the broader Solana story. We wanted to bring those signals together in one place."
— Pete Humiston, Chief Marketing Officer, DeFi Development Corp
The dashboard covers more than $SOL
Market data is the front door. SOL's current price sits alongside returns over 24 hours, three months, year to date, one year, and five years, plus a full price history chart and an interactive Rainbow chart that maps the current price against every cycle Solana has been through.
Past that, State of Solana widens out considerably. Live network health covers TPS, slot times, epoch progress, and an uptime record running back three years. Staking data covers yields, inflation, the share of supply staked, and validator concentration. Cross-chain comparisons put Solana's DEX volume and stablecoin supply next to other networks. There's a table of the top yields across Solana, including the best current rates on stablecoins, a feed of Solana's scheduled protocol upgrades, and a trending section tracking what's drawing activity in the ecosystem right now.
Most crypto dashboards only report what a network has already done. State of Solana also carries what Solana is scheduled to do.
That matters in 2026, because this has been a heavy year for protocol changes and each one invalidates a number elsewhere on the page. Slot times came down and rent dropped, both of which move the throughput and account-cost figures the rest of the dashboard reports.
Who is DeFi Development Corp?
DeFi Development Corp (Nasdaq: DFDV) is a US public company whose treasury reserve is built around accumulating SOL. The company also runs validator infrastructure that earns staking rewards and fees, and operates an AI-powered commercial real estate software business.
That treasury is the reason the dashboard exists. A company whose balance sheet moves with SOL benefits when investors judge Solana on usage and throughput rather than price alone. The data is public and sourced regardless, but the site is built to support DFDV's thesis.
