• Solana Ultra (SOLU): The expected expansion of the Solana network, which aims to finally solve the issue of failures and make transactions instantaneous.

• Pudgy Penguins (PENGU): The transition of the popular NFT collection into a global brand status with its own token that goes far beyond just images.
