<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The investor frenzy around Solana meme coins powered the SOL price above strong resistance at $200. Following an 11% </span><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">increase</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in price over the past 24 hours, SOL continues to trade above this mark as of 4:20 a.m. EST, according to CoinMarketCap.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SOL was also able to flip Binance Coin (BNB) to become the fourth largest crypto in terms of market capitalization.</span></p>

<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-failed-transactions-span"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Failed Transactions</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The sudden wave of activity proved to be too much for the </span><a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/top-trending-cryptos-on-solana-chain-today-safemoon-bome-soltradingbot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Solana</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> network on several occasions. Many users took to X to complain about frequent instances where their transactions either failed or were missing. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the high traffic period, the network’s </span><a href="https://explorer.solana.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ping time</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> also increased to between 20 and 40 seconds. This subsequently resulted in around 50% of the transactions failing for approximately 20 minutes.</span></p>

 <p>Solana's TPS isn't 50k due to vote transactions; it's just marketing. In reality, under full network conditions with 30-50s wait times, Solana maxes out… <a href="https://t.co/NJJfZGDBgo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/NJJfZGDBgo</a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In tandem with the surge in network activity, several other on-chain metrics also jumped over the weekend. The number of active Solana addresses rose to 1.2 million on Mar. 18, according to data from The Block, which is a level that has not been seen since around June 2022. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nearly 870,000 new addresses were also created on the network yesterday, while transaction fees reached a new all-time high as well.</span></p>
