Technical Breakthrough
Performance Leap: With the Firedancer validator client and Runtime v2 upgrade, network throughput stabilizes at 65,000 TPS (peaking at 100,000 TPS), with a transaction cost of only $0.0001, completely resolving historical downtime issues, becoming the preferred public chain for high-frequency trading.
Ecosystem Expansion: Launching the Solana VM compatible with Ethereum Solidity contracts, attracting over 300 projects including Aave and Chainlink to migrate, with total locked value (TVL) surpassing $80 billion. Institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Visa have deployed private sublinks into the mainnet settlement layer.
Mobile Revolution: Solana Mobile phone global sales exceed 20 million units, integrating a native DApp store (with over 5 million daily active users), promoting the implementation of DeFi payments, blockchain games, and other scenarios.
Market Catalyst:
The March 2025 'Triton' network upgrade will further enhance scalability, with the management scale of SOL spot ETFs launched by institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity exceeding $30 billion, and the annual inflation rate dropping to 3.1% after the deflationary mechanism is activated.
The meme coin craze drives the explosion of the Solana ecosystem, with SOL prices first breaking $200 in the short-term bull market in November 2024, and institutions predicting a potential surge to $500 in 2025.
Risk Warning:
Over-reliance on meme coin ecosystems may trigger a liquidity crisis if market sentiment turns.
Although historical downtime issues have improved, stability under high concurrency scenarios still needs validation.
