Subsequently, the revenue generated by Solana also witnessed a massive spike. According to the token terminal, it increased by 30.6% over the last 30 days.
This spike in revenue could be a result of the growing number of DEX wallets on the Solana network, as more users lead to more trading activity and hence more revenue.
Additionally, the increasing revenue could be an indication of the growing popularity of Solana and its products. Note that this could attract more traders to the platform.
However, despite the growth in DEX wallets and revenue, Solana’s total value locked (TVL) continued to decline according to Defi Llama. It decreased from $295 million to $275 million over the last month. This decline in TVL could certainly be a cause for concern.
On the other hand, the NFT market on Solana witnessed significant improvements, with daily active users on Solana’s NFT marketplaces increasing, according to Dune analytics.
This surge can be attributed to the popularity of NFT collections such as y00ts and DeGods. These collections have attracted a lot of attention and interest from the community.
However, these collections moving to different chains in the future could pose a problem for Solana’s NFT market. In that case, the SOL ecosystem can see a decline in the number of users as well as a decline in volume.
The social aspect
One of the reasons for Solana’s growth could be its activity on the social front. Solana saw a 41.2% spike in social mentions over the past few days according to LunarCrush’s data.
Along with that, the sentiment for Solana was also positive over the last month. It impacted SOL to go up on the charts. For instance, Solana’s volume spiked according to data provided by Santiment. The volume increased from $496 million to $2.65 billion over the last month.
