How Solana dApps can help SOL in Q2 2024
Activity and development activity within the Solana ecosystem experiences a noticeable uptick.
- Solana ecosystem witnessed an uptick in activity and development activity.
- Interest in Solana’s DeFi and NFTs declined.
Solana [SOL] attracted large amounts of activity on its network due to the recent popularity of its meme coins.
However, it’s not just the meme coins that have been attracting users to the Solana network – dApps on the Solana network have also played a crucial part.
Taking a look at Solana’s ecosystem
Popular dApps such as Wormhole, Jupiter and Pyth network have managed to gain a large number of active addresses over the past few weeks.
Development Activity on these dApps also grew, which suggested that the new updates and upgrades might be on the way. These new developments could help attract even more users to the network.
Over the past few weeks, the number of daily transactions occurring on the Solana network had grown from 20 million to 30 million.
However, the number of daily active addresses on the network had remained the same.
This indicated that the high number of transactions on the network were not being driven by new addresses but the same old ones.
Some challenges ahead
In the DeFi sector, the Solana network faced some problems. The DEX (Decentralized Exchange) volumes on the network fell significantly over the last few days. Coupled with that, the TVL (Total Value Locked) began to stagnate.
Solana was also observed to be seeing a decline in interest in its NFT sector. AMBCrypto’s analysis of Solana Floor’s data indicated that the total floor value of Solana NFTs had fallen significantly over the last few days.
The volume of NFTs being sold on the Solana network had also declined during this period.
These factors could impact the Solana ecosystem negatively and prove to be a hindrance in the growth of the ecosystem, going forward.
