7 Spot Staking-in-Kind ETFs: Several new ETFs are preparing to offer direct $SOL staking yields to investors โ a massive liquidity injection opportunity.
Firedancer (1M+ TPS): A game-changing, independent validator client delivering over 1 million transactions per second. Mainnet rollout approaching.

Seeker Phone: Hardware + DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) strategy with a crypto-native mobile experience and built-in wallet.
Touch Pay $USDC Rails: Instant point-of-sale payments via Solanaโs low-latency $USDC transfer rails. Could disrupt fintech rails like Stripe or VisaNet.
DoubleZero Layer-0 Network: Interoperable network for Solana-based subnets and modular rollups โ scaling Solanaโs ecosystem beyond mainnet.
Permissionless Native Bitcoin Liquidity: A pipeline for bringing native BTC liquidity into Solana DeFi โ tapping into Bitcoinโs $1T market cap without wrapped tokens.

Solana Blinks: On-chain actions executable via URLs โ bringing DeFi, payments, and asset interactions to any website or social platform with a single link.
