Solana’s (SOL) ecosystem has always managed to attract attention with the dynamic nature of its NFT collections. However, following the events of last year’s FTX saga, many blue-chip NFT collections on the Solana network began migrating to other protocols. This led to a noticeable decline in interest in SOL.
Are Solana NFTs Making a Comeback?
However, in the past few weeks, interest in Solana has seemed to revive. This resurgence in interest supported an increase in NFT volume on Solana, although as of today, there has been about a 50% decrease from the peak that occurred three days ago.
In addition, the volume of Solana’s blue-chip NFT projects has also increased during this period. Notably, over the last seven days, a rise in the floor prices of many prominent Solana projects has been observed. The lively interest and expansion in high-value NFT trades in Solana’s NFT market seem to contribute to the revitalization of its ecosystem.
Last week, the rising floor prices of significant projects on the SOL network highlighted the resilience and potential of Solana’s blockchain. Such developments could attract more investors and enthusiasts, encourage growth, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the Solana ecosystem.
Despite these positives, the bad news came from the measurement of the daily active address count. There has been a decline in the daily active address count on Solana. Moreover, there has been a decrease in the number of daily transactions. The increase in NFTs could potentially help boost network activity.
Developer Interest in Solana Is Rising
The upturn in Solana’s ecosystem has triggered growth in many areas. There has also been a noticeable increase in developer activities. According to recent data, more developers are enrolling in the SolDev developer course, and visits have increased by 50% compared to two months ago.
The increase in interest in the SolDev developer course signifies that more developers are learning to transact on Solana. The Solana StackExchange platform has nearly doubled its weekly unique user count, reflecting a 90% increase.
Lastly, according to a post by the Head of Developer Relations at Solana on a platform formerly known as Twitter, there has been a 50% to 100% increase in visits to Solana’s documentation. This indicates growing interest and engagement within the developer community. With more visits to Solana’s documents, users have a clearer path to explore and understand the network better.
