The crypto industry has introduced many promising projects to the users, and one of the projects that witnessed tremendous growth over the past year is Solana.

However, despite promising metrics, Ethereum still “dwarfs Solana in total NFT secondary volumes,” as per Nystrom. Nevertheless, Solana became one of the top NFT blockchains by secondary trading in just a few months.

According to recent reports, electronic music producer Deadmau5 may launch NFTs on the Solana blockchain. Further, the NFT collection will be made by abstract artist Gregory Siff at the Red Rocks Music Festival in Colorado on 4 November. It was clear that Solana was already experimenting with artists to keep its NFT space active and creative for buyers and sellers.

Meanwhile, data collector, CryptoSlam listed Solana as the number four blockchain for NFTs as its 24-hours secondary volume hit $1.9 million, behind Ethereum [$37.3 million], Robin [$23.5 million], and Wax [$4.5 million].
