  • The development activity of Solana has increased.
  • Developers are putting in more effort to improve the blockchain.

Solana seemed to have the best first week of any top-twenty coin this year. $SOL has recovered remarkably after falling more than 41% in the wake of the FTX debacle. Solana was formerly a favorite of Sam Bankman-Fried and was reportedly dubbed an “Ethereum killer.” The current $SOL price is $16.17, and there has been $1,167,814,860 worth of trades in the past 24 hours as per CoinMarketCap.

The increase last week was brought on by the launch of the $BONK coin, an alternative to SHIB that was developed by Solana developers with a Shiba Inu theme. Even though the launch party was short-lived, $BONK nonetheless surpassed all other significant cryptocurrencies for the week. As per reports, $SOL’s market indicators were also bullish, implying that the rally will continue in the coming days.

Solana is a layer-1 proof-of-stake blockchain network that enables programmers to build non-fungible currencies and decentralized finance apps (DeFi) (NFTs). $SOL’s price fluctuated between $0.50 and $1.50 for the rest of the year after its launch in March 2020. Then, during the 2021 crypto bull run, $SOL became one of the top-performing assets, with its price reaching $55.91 by May 2021. $SOL’s price fell as low as $23.49 in July 2021. But it rose again in the second half of the year, reaching an all-time high of $258.93 in November 2021.
