On July 22, 2025, Jito Labs, a key player in the Solana ecosystem, announced the launch of Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) — an innovative solution for optimizing network performance. This architecture rethinks block formation, enhancing the transparency and efficiency of transactions. With the integration of encrypted TEE and protection against MEV (Maximal Extractable Value), BAM minimizes manipulations and improves the order of operation processing. Developers also gained the ability to connect their own logic through plugins, opening new horizons for DeFi.
The news acted as a catalyst for the rise in the price of Solana ($SOL ), which reached $200 for the first time since February, nearing a market capitalization of $105 billion. Experts attribute this to investor optimism regarding the future of the network, as BAM enhances Solana's scalability, allowing it to process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. While the network is already known for its speed, this update may solidify its position among the top 5 cryptocurrencies, competing with $BNB .
Along with technical improvements, interest in staking and DeFi on Solana is growing. However, analysts caution against excessive enthusiasm, as market volatility remains high.
