Solana has an active and robust ecosystem of builders. The network is strong.

Breakpoint demonstrated that the energy and commitment and range of projects is stronger than ever. That hasn’t changed in the last 48 hours.

The vision remains the same.

2022 has been a year of unprecedented developer activity on Solana across Mobile, Games, NFTs, DAOs, Payments, and DeFi.

Ten new Solana Hacker Houses were announced for 2023 – all for builders – spanning Istanbul, Melbourne, Taipei, Tel Aviv and others.

Solana’s validator network is increasing its decentralization.

Active users on Solana remains strong, even in this year's market downturn – 11.5m active accounts and 1.7m fee payers in October.

Network performance has improved since 1.10, with block times decreasing and throughput increasing.

Open source repos and developer activity on Solana is up and to the right, thanks in part to growing developer education resources and an easier onboarding experience.

2022 is the year Solana Games took off, with 15 fun, player-driven experiences already built and playable.

DAO tooling and adoption has made it possible for nearly 1,700 Solana projects to be managed on-chain, a huge increase since this time in 2021.

Solana DeFi remains strong, with over $150m raised by DeFi projects in 2022.

One of the biggest successes of 2022 is in the Solana NFT community. NFTs are onboarding hundreds of thousands of users to the network, with over $3.6b in primary and secondary sales.
