🎁 REASONS SOLANA SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR HOLDING
1. Strong network fundamentals & major upgrades
- Alpenglow has been approved with a high support rate (98%) → expected to significantly improve finality speed.
- Firedancer (new client from Jump Crypto) continues to develop → increases client diversity, reduces network risk.
- If the proposal to remove the compute unit (CU) limit is approved, Solana could handle larger blocks, higher throughput.
2. Attractive DePIN + DeFi ecosystem
- Solana is leading in DePIN: many IoT projects, mapping, computing really use SOL.
- Validator staking has increased significantly; many SOL are being staked → supporting network security and SOL demand.
❗ Risks to consider
- Removing the CU limit could lead to centralization risks if strong validators dominate.
- If Alpenglow or Firedancer deploy incorrectly or late → trust may be affected.
- Building DePIN and major dApps takes time, not guaranteed to take off immediately → could face FUD when prices do not reflect full potential.
- Validator operation hardware costs, staking risks if SOL does not increase significantly.
🔭 Investment recommendations
- Buy in portions (DCA): Do not go all-in, divide funds into multiple stages when SOL adjusts + when upgrades are implemented.
- Hold medium to long-term (6–24 months): If you believe in Solana’s future as a DeFi + DePIN infrastructure, investing now is very reasonable.
- Closely monitor upgrade news: As Alpenglow and Firedancer progress, you should follow the roadmap + announced milestones → decide whether to buy more or hold.
