source-logo  altcoinbuzz.io 01 September 2021 13:55, UTC

Last week was another excellent week for Solana’s native token (SOL), which reached a new all-time high of $97.66. Therefore, the token has risen 25.6 percent in the previous seven days, outperforming Bitcoin and Ether.

In addition to its remarkable growth, the Solana ecosystem records impressive development, becoming one of the most active networks in the blockchain space.

As reported by Altcoin Buzz, Solana currently has over 400 projects built within its ecosystem, making its popularity continues to shoot up.

Here are the recent exciting updates from the Solana ecosystem.

1 – Solana Taps Chainlink to Offer Crypto Price Feeds

In a significant boost for its ecosystem, Solana has collaborated with Chainlink to give developers access to decentralized pricing feeds.

Through close collaboration with the Solana Labs team, #Chainlink Price Feeds are now running live on @Solana Devnet, providing Solana's #DeFi ecosystem with native access to decentralized price oracles that offer wide market coverage & sub-second updates. https://t.co/hzLXlDe4et

Firstly, Solana said in a statement that developers on its platform may now use Chainlink pricing feeds, where Solana developers now have access to decentralized, high-quality, and frequently updated pricing reference data.

Likewise, Chainlink’s price reference contracts currently provide safe and accurate market data. The newly integrated pricing feeds, on the other hand, will help developers construct a wide range of hybrid smart contract applications in DeFi.

Secondly, Solana’s creator and CEO, Anatoly Yakovenko, expressed satisfaction with the new integration. According to him, the integration will greatly accelerate the rate at which Solana developers can create secure, rising DeFi apps.

Finally, he said, “The combination of high-quality oracle infrastructure and Solana’s high-speed blockchain network can enable DeFi applications to scale to a global level.”

2 – Solana Foundation Unveils Delegation Program

The Solana Foundation, a non-profit branch of Solana Labs located in Switzerland, has started a delegation program.

1/ In a Proof of Stake network like #Solana, it is important to maximize both the total number of high quality Validators on the network, and the distribution of stake amongst those nodes.

This is why we created the Solana Foundation Delegation Program

The Solana foundation, dedicated to the decentralization, growth and security of the Solana network, just announced the new initiative. According to the release, it would deliberately distribute $SOL to users who satisfy specific performance and decentralization requirements.

In the same vein, Solana will be able to optimize the total number of high-quality validators on the network and control the allocation of stake across nodes thanks to the distribution. This will help the Solana ecosystem’s growth and security.

In conclusion, It’s also important to say that since June 2021, more than 320 new validators have joined Solana’s platform. However, there are presently 896 staked validators spread over 28 countries, 150 data centers, and 92 distinct ASNs.
