The rally in Solana memecoins is evidence of the increased relevance of the layer-1 ecosystem. This means investors’ sentiment toward the Solana network is not speculative. Instead, it appears to be backed by rising development activity and genuine user engagement.


Its potential has been reinforced by high transaction volumes and growth in DeFi applications (DApps).
