The activity on the Solana [SOL] network has grown immensely over the past few months as interest in memecoins increases globally. However, the surge in MEV (Miner Extractable Value) bots is partly responsible for this growth in activity. These bots, which are complex software programs, look for the best opportunities on blockchains, such as arbitrage and frontrunning. According to fresh research, Solana has consistently generated more MEV than Ethereum over the past fortnight, demonstrating MEV bots’ increasing influence within this network.
MEV bots, although positive indicators of the ecosystem, also hinder the user experience. This could potentially lead to a decline in sentiment towards the protocol, as it negatively impacts the user experience. Combating this problem demands resolute work on the part of the network to isolate the MEV bot influence and boost the user experience, thus ultimately attracting admirers.
NFT Sector Slump Adds to Sentiment Downturn
On the other hand, Solana’s NFT trading has gone downhill, with a lack of trading volumes and low floor values observed recently. This decline highlights Solana’s need to rekindle people’s attraction to NFTs so that the ecosystem can regain all the vigor that was there in the beginning.
Token Woes: SOL Price Stabel Amidst Declining Sentiment
With respect to the SOL token, the recent data shows that there wasn’t a change in the price of SOL during the last 24 hours, along with a 20% increase in volume. Falling social engagement is a sign that the SOL token has become less popular in recent months. Not only that, but the relative number of negative sentiments towards SOL is much greater than positive ones.
The level of negative opinions regarding SOL increases the risk that its price will start to decrease soon. It is critical for Solana to navigate these obstacles in order to rebound and avoid losing investor confidence in its ecosystem.
