Over the past few years, Solana (SOL) experienced its share of ups and downs. The network faced multiple disruptions, and recent classification of SOL as a security by the SEC posed additional challenges.
Solana’s Innovation!
Despite these adversities, a new validator client soon could improve Solana’s state moving forward. According to Messari’s data, Firedancer, an independent validator client created by Jump, could potentially make things better, at least on the DeFi front.
The data indicates that by reducing latency times, Firedancer could increase DeFi maturity, thereby bringing decentralized exchanges closer to parity with centralized ones.
By lowering latency times, Firedancer could enable faster transaction execution, enhancing the overall user experience and attracting more participants to the network. This increased efficiency could potentially boost the scalability and usability of decentralized applications built on Solana.
Furthermore, bringing decentralized exchanges closer to parity with centralized exchanges could have various benefits. It offers smooth trading experiences for users who can enjoy similar speed and liquidity levels offered by centralized exchanges. This could increase liquidity in decentralized exchanges and attract more traders, thereby expanding the ecosystem and encouraging further adoption of Solana-based DeFi protocols.
DeFi Data!
At the time of writing, Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) had significantly decreased over the last few months. According to Artemis’ data, TVL has dropped from $295 million to $266 million since April. This could be partially attributed to the low DEX volumes displayed on the Solana network.
Even though DEX volumes have been low for most of this year, there’s been an increase in this measurement over the last few weeks. This uptick has resulted in a slight rise in Solana’s TVL. Only time will tell whether Solana can catch and maintain these numbers and sustain sustainable growth in the future.
As for stakers, they appear to maintain a positive attitude towards Solana and continue supporting the network. According to Staking Rewards’ data, the Solana network is the second most popular network among stakers after Ethereum.
At the time of writing, investors continue to show their support for SOL, whose price has been increasing over the last few days. Alongside the increase in price, a boost in Solana’s volume was also observed.
