Solana's Daily Active Validator Count Falls Below 800, Down Over 65% from 2023 Peak

The number of daily active validators on Solana has fallen below 800, returning to 2021 levels. This figure is down over 65% from the peak of about 2500 validators at the beginning of 2023. The volume of validator voting transactions has decreased from approximately 300,000 daily to 170,000, a drop of 40%. The main reason for the loss of validators is changes in economic benefits, including the diminishing support for voting costs and staking matching policies provided by the Solana Foundation Delegation Program over time. Despite the reduction in the number of validators, non-voting transaction volumes, such as user-initiated DApp interactions and token transfers, remain stable at about 100 million daily.
